RWY 31

John F Kennedy Meml Airport sits in Ashland, Wisconsin. The field elevation is 826.5 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 5,197 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF and UNICOM 122.8 for local traffic. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 02 has an ILS approach. The airport also has PAPI on runways 02, 20 and 31. Runway lighting is CTAF controlled. The 02/20 lights come up low from sunset to sunrise. Then you can use CTAF to raise intensity and turn on runway end identifier lights. That matters on a night arrival. The field also has 24-hour self-serve 100LL. Jet A is available with prior permission. John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist.

Watch for deer and other wildlife near the airport. Heavy bird activity is reported in spring and summer. Runway 13 has a controlling obstruction that exceeds a 45 degree slope. Aircraft over 4,000 lb must stop or park on concrete. Smaller aircraft park on asphalt. If you need after-hours service, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the airport manager before you launch.
