Westport Airport (71K) sits in Wichita, Kansas. Field elevation is 1,290 ft MSL. The airport has one asphalt runway, 17/35, at 2,520 ft. 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 pattern only if that matches current local practice and the current Chart Supplement does not say otherwise.
Westport Ag Sales and Service is on the field. It carries 100LL. Call (316) 943-5510 for current service details before you go. Published remarks also call out runway condition issues on 17/35. Expect grass encroachment on the sides and numerous surface cracks. There are also obstruction notes near runway 17 and a fence near the threshold of runway 35. That makes a close look at the current Chart Supplement worth doing before departure.
This is a non-towered field in the Wichita area, so plan for local traffic and coordinate carefully. Published remarks say departures should contact Wichita ATC on the ground for departure instructions. If that does not work, contact the tower after takeoff and remain east of the field until communications are established. The remarks also mention clearance delivery through Wichita Approach. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before flying in.
