RWY 36

Yates Center Muni sits in Yates Center, Kansas. Field elevation is 1,128 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is a 3,000 ft turf strip. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 2,128 ft MSL based on field elevation. Verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The airport manager can be contacted at jatkin@cityofyatescenter.com.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on checking with the airport operator or the field directly for current services before arrival. For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the turf surface, the lack of tower control and the need to self-announce clearly on CTAF. With no published ILS, this is a VFR-minded stop unless you have current approach data from the FAA Chart Supplement. Magnetic variation is unknown in the provided facts. Use the published runway numbers as charted.
