Butler Airpark is in Rose Hill, Kansas. The field elevation is 1,310 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 2,577 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field performance and keep the weight limits in mind. This is a non-towered airport. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator tells you otherwise. Published remarks say all traffic stays east of the airport and east of the runway. They also call for a 20 to 1 approach slope and a 7 to 1 transitional slope. That makes obstacle awareness important on arrival and departure.
The airport is limited to single-engine light aircraft with a maximum gross landing weight of 3,250 lb unless you have prior authorization. Operations are suspended when the turf is wet. If you need clearance delivery, contact Wichita Approach at 316-350-1520. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and service availability with the airport operator or by calling the field before you go.
