RWY 16

KBTY is in Beatty, Nevada. The field elevation is 3,169 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 5,615 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 4,169 ft MSL. The airport sits in desert terrain, so density altitude can matter on warm days. Terrain also rises to the base of the mountain off runway 16 on a 3-to-1 slope for two miles. Plan your departure and arrival with that in mind.

Published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 16/34. They are activated by the CTAF. Low flying military aircraft may be in the area. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach Flight Service on the published frequency, contact Nellis Approach at 702-652-4172. No on-field FBOs are listed, so call the airport operator directly or the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability before you go.
