Dighton Airport sits in Dighton, Kansas. The field elevation is 2,779 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 2,400 ft. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
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. That puts the pattern at 3,779 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway 17 has a 3-foot fence post near the approach end. Runway 35 has a railroad close in to the approach end centerline. Runway 06 has a controlling obstruction that exceeds a 45 degree slope. Runways 24, 13 and 31 have no runway end markings.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. A public phone is available if you need to call ahead. Low intensity runway lights on 17 and 35 are activated on CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC. This is a small, non-towered field in western Kansas. Expect the usual high-plains considerations. Watch density altitude, crosswind control and runway condition before you commit.
