East Kansas City (3GV) sits in Grain Valley, Missouri. Field elevation is 835 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 09/27 at 4,507 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF and UNICOM use for local traffic flow. 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 procedures say otherwise. The field is in the Kansas City area, so expect to stay sharp on radio work and traffic awareness. Clearance delivery is handled through Kansas City Approach at 816-329-2710. The published frequencies include CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. Kansas City Approach and departure use 118.4 and 307.35. CD/P is 121.3.
Grain Valley Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Published remarks matter here. Runway 09/27 has nonstandard medium intensity lighting. The runway edge lights are set inboard from the pavement edge. The last 2,000 ft do not have yellow edge lights. Runway 05 has close-in railroad tracks and trees near the approach end. Runway safety areas are not standard at all ends. Waterfowl are also reported on and near the airport. A first-time pilot should review the runway layout, the lighting notes and the obstruction picture before arrival.
