West Liberty Airport (9I3) sits in West Liberty, Kentucky. Field elevation is 934 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 2,400 ft long and asphalt. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. For this field that works out to about 1,934 ft MSL. This is a VFR-only airport. For clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC at 317-247-2411.

The published remarks matter here. Deer are on and near the airport. Runway 07 and Runway 25 both have faded markings with algae noted. Runway 07/25 also has a 1.5 percent east to west downslope. Trees and terrain on both sides violate the 7 to 1 transition surface, so expect a tighter visual environment than a flat strip. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before you go.
