El Dorado Springs Meml (87K) sits in El Dorado Springs, Missouri. Field elevation is 931.4 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 3,295 ft. Runway 18/36 is 2,430 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,931 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but confirm before you go.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current fuel and service availability. Published remarks matter here. Trees sit within the runway safety area at both ends of runway 18/36. Wildlife is also reported on and near the airport. Runway 04/22 has medium intensity lights that are activated by using the common traffic advisory frequency. If you need clearance delivery, Kansas City Center handles it. This is a non-towered field, so plan your self-announce calls early and keep an eye out on final and in the pattern.
