Gardner Muni sits in Gardner, Kansas. The field elevation is 1,040 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 3,224 ft. This is a non-towered field, so plan on self-announce ops on CTAF 122.8 and keep a sharp scan for local traffic.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Gardner Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours self-serve. For clearance delivery, Kansas City Approach is the contact listed in the remarks.

A few runway details matter here. Runway 08/26 is asphalt. Runways 03/21 and 17/35 are turf. The remarks also note glider and ultralight activity on and near the airport. That makes the pattern worth flying with extra spacing and good lookout discipline. There are also published obstructions near runway 03, plus orange barrels marking the ends of runways 17 and 35. Runway 08/26 has nonstandard low intensity lighting. If you are planning a night or low-vis arrival, verify the current Chart Supplement and brief the field carefully before you go.
