RWY 35

Montezuma Muni is in Montezuma, Kansas. The field elevation is 2,780 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 4,000 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so plan to verify the current pattern altitude before arrival. The airport sits in southwest Kansas, so density altitude can be a factor in warm weather. That matters with a 4,000 ft runway at this elevation.

Published remarks note medium intensity runway lights on 17/35. They are activated by the CTAF. There is also a 6 ft irrigation engine and pump on the west edge of the runway near the windsock. A 15 ft road runs parallel to runway 17 on the west side. Keep the clear 20 to 1 approach surface and 7 to 1 transitional surface in mind.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF for current service status. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508. If you are planning a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement before departure so you have the latest notes for lighting, obstacles and any local operating details.
