Applegate Airport sits near Queen City, Missouri. Field elevation is 999 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is runway 16/34 at 2,295 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The runway also has nonstandard low intensity lights with red threshold lights at both ends. That is useful if you are planning a night arrival.

Published remarks also note that clearance delivery goes through Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508. This is a small turf field, so check surface condition carefully. Verify the current Chart Supplement before flying in if you need any current operational detail.
