RWY 18

Greater Beardstown (K06) sits in Beardstown, Illinois. The field elevation is 465 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 4,000 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,465 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you go if your aircraft or local procedure calls for something different.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so plan ahead for fuel and ground support. Check with the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current FBO availability. Published remarks say the runway lights on 18/36 are preset to low intensity. You can increase them by keying the CTAF. Taxiway lights are only at the entrance. For clearance delivery, contact St Louis Approach at 314-890-1017. This is a non-towered field, so expect self-announced traffic and keep a close ear on CTAF.
