Freeman Fld is in Junction City, Kansas. The field elevation is 1,101.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 3,498 ft asphalt. Runways 05/23 and 13/31 are turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. Freeman Field is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Call 785-761-7692 before arrival if you need current field details.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 22 degrees Celsius. The turf can be soft when wet. Runway threshold markers and raised steel plates are noted on the turf runways, so taxi carefully and brief the surface condition before you roll. Waterfowl have also been reported on and near the airport. If you are flying IFR, note that non-standard ATC minima apply for arrivals with respect to high-performance aircraft operations inside R-3602. Check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with ATC if your trip depends on that airspace.
