Hillside Airport sits near Stilwell, Kansas. The field elevation is 1,025 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 2,000 ft long with a turf-gravel surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a small field with some real operating issues to plan around. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Trees and uneven terrain are present on both sides of the runway. Trees also sit in the approach zones. There is a 10-foot earth embankment mid-field on the west edge of the runway. The runway is also reported rough for the first 550 feet from the aerodrome 35 end. That makes a careful walk-through and a conservative performance check a good idea before you go in.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Bring your own tie-down anchors and chains if you plan to park on the turf tie-down area. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City Approach at 816-329-2710. If you need current operating details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
