Argonia Muni sits in Argonia, Kansas at 1,279 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,200 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field technique and check the surface before you go. The field is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local traffic calls for something different. That puts the pattern at about 2,279 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before flight. Published remarks note a controlling obstruction near runway 17 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. That is a good reason to brief your departure and arrival paths carefully, especially if you are operating a heavier airplane or flying a short-field profile.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. For clearance delivery, Wichita Approach is listed at 316-350-1520. If you need current noise, curfew, or local operating details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly in.
