Bucklin Airport sits in Bucklin, Kansas. The field elevation is 2,418 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,560 ft long and is turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 3,418 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway headings are magnetic. The runway is aligned 181° and 1°.

Published remarks call out obstacles near the runway 18 end. There is a 20-foot building 120 feet from the end, 50 feet right of centerline. There is also a 15-foot road 60 feet from the end on both sides of centerline. That makes a careful short-field and obstacle check important before arrival or departure. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the field directly before you go. If you need clearance delivery, Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center is listed in the remarks. For a first visit, plan for a non-towered turf field at higher elevation with no published precision approach support.
