RWY 35

Bressler Fld sits in Bird City, Kansas. The field elevation is 3,489 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 3,460 ft. Runway 17/35 is 2,270 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in western Kansas, so density altitude can be a factor on warm days. That matters on turf, especially with the elevation and the shorter runway. The published remarks also call out rough turf on the east third of runway 08/26. The north end of runway 17 is marked with orange and white barrels. Right-hand traffic is used for runway 8.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on confirming services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. From October through March, call 785-734-2631 for airport conditions. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257.
