Miami County Airport sits near Paola, Kansas. The field elevation is 943.1 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 3,398 ft. This is a non-towered airport, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless local guidance says otherwise.
The airport has one on-field FBO listed as Miami County Airport Authority. It carries 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. The beacon operates from dusk to 2400. Runway 03/21 has medium intensity lights controlled by CTAF. It also has runway end identifier lights and PAPI on both ends. Runway 15/33 is a 1,940 ft turf strip.

For planning, note that Kansas City Approach handles clearance delivery. The published contact is 816-329-2710. If you need current airport details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly. The field is in open country near Paola. That usually means wind and surface conditions matter more than terrain, but the turf runway can still be a factor after rain or during soft-field conditions.
