Ainsworth Regional Airport sits in Ainsworth, Nebraska. Field elevation is 2,588.7 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 6,824 ft. Runway 13/31 is 5,501 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
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 FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Ainsworth Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Twenty-four hour self-service fuel is available through a credit card system.
The published remarks matter for planning. Runways 17 and 35 have MALSR lighting. Runway 31 has REILs. PAPI is available on both runways. High intensity runway lighting is available on both runways. The airport also publishes clear approach and departure paths, with no ingress or egress over hangars or other buildings. Seasonal migratory waterfowl are reported on and near the field, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure. The field is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Check performance before you go. If you need clearance delivery details, use the current FAA Chart Supplement or contact the airport manager directly.
