RWY 36

Butler Memorial Airport (KBUM) sits in Butler, Missouri. The field elevation is 893.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,999 ft long with an asphalt surface. The airport is non-towered, so pilots should plan for self-announced traffic on CTAF 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current airport information says otherwise. Skydive Kansas City is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Ultralight aircraft also operate on and near the airport, so expect mixed traffic and keep a sharp scan in the pattern.

Two tall towers are reported south of runway 36. One is about 7,000 ft south of the threshold. The other is about 14,000 ft south. That matters on departure and on any low work south of the field. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach Flight Service, the published remark says to contact Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight for any updates to remarks, traffic flow, or local procedures.
