Amelia Earhart Airport sits in Atchison, Kansas. The field elevation is 1,073 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 3,000 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. 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. No ILS approaches are published here.
This is a non-towered field with CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. Low intensity runway lights on 16/34 are activated by the CTAF. Heartland AG Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours self-service. Extensive aerial agricultural operations occur here, so expect ag traffic and stay sharp on the CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City Approach. The airport is in Atchison, so watch density altitude on warm days and plan for a short runway if you are bringing in a heavier airplane. The Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum is also on the airport.
