Willard Fld sits in Tekoa, Washington. Field elevation is 2,520 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 04/22, which is 2,261 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 3,520 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Medium intensity runway lights are available on runway 04/22 by using 122.8. Self-service 100LL is available with credit card payment. There are no on-field FBOs listed.
This is a small field with some close-in hazards. Runway 04 has a ditch 42 ft left of the runway end plus brush 0 to 200 ft from the threshold. Runway 22 has Aces Road 33 ft from the runway end. Grass areas are not available for aircraft operations. Clearance delivery is handled through Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. Bring your own ropes if you need them. The field is in a higher-elevation part of eastern Washington, so performance planning matters on warm days. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local operating notes before you go.
