Comanche County Airport sits in Coldwater, Kansas. The field elevation is 2,086.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,500 ft of concrete, so plan for a modest runway length at a higher-elevation field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport uses runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights on 17/35. Those lights are activated via CTAF. There is also a 4-foot berm near the departure end of runway 17, offset to the left side. That is worth keeping in mind on the takeoff roll and initial climb.
Comanche County Airport has one on-field FBO listed as Comanche County Airport. It carries 100LL. For fuel and after-hours help, the published remarks point pilots to the County Office or the Sheriff. Phone numbers are also listed in the pilot lounge. If you need clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC. For a first visit, treat this as a non-towered field with a single runway, higher field elevation and no published ILS.
