Ellinwood Muni sits in Ellinwood, Kansas. Field elevation is 1,797 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 2,550 ft long with a turf-gravel surface. It is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 17 has patches of grassy vegetation and gravel near the centerline. There is also a large drainage ditch 400 feet south of runway 35. The airport was built before 1959, so plan for a smaller rural strip with limited services.

For clearance delivery, Kansas City ARTCC is the published contact. After hours, contact the City of Ellinwood.
