Stafford Muni sits in Stafford, Kansas. The field elevation is 1,886 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 2,560 ft. This is an unattended field with no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,886 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in open Kansas terrain, so wind and surface condition matter more than obstacles on most days. Published remarks call out soft and wet turf after rain on the first 1,200 ft of runway 35. The first 700 ft of runway 31 is also wet and soft after rain. There is a pipe guard fence around a gas meter near the threshold of runway 13. The controlling obstruction for runway 13 exceeds a 45 degree slope. The controlling obstruction for runway 17 also exceeds a 45 degree slope.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability. For clearance delivery, Kansas City ARTCC is listed in the remarks. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
