Chadron Muni sits in Chadron, Nebraska. Field elevation is 3,297.8 ft MSL. The airport has 2 concrete runways. The longest is runway 03/21 at 5,998 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for self-announce traffic. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
One ILS approach is published for runway 03. That matters here because runway 03 also has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights. Runway 03/21 has high intensity runway lighting. Runway 12/30 has medium intensity runway lighting. Runway end identifier lights are installed on runways 21 and 30. PAPI is installed on runways 12 and 30. VASI is installed on runways 03 and 21.
The on-field FBO is Chadron Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport operations supervisor is Roger Stevens. The airport office phone number is 308-615-9007. For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the field elevation and local density altitude. This is a higher-elevation airport, so takeoff and climb performance deserve a close look. Also note the published obstacle note for runway 03. The approach slope from the displaced threshold is 45 to 1. Check the current Chart Supplement before departure for any updated operating notes.
