RWY 23

Kyle-Oakley Field sits in Murray, Kentucky. Field elevation is 577.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 6,202 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.7 for traffic calls and airport coordination. No ILS approaches are published here, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the current approach chart set before you go if you need precision guidance.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Kyle-Oakley Field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (270) 489-2414 for current service details. The published remarks also note runway lighting on both ends. Approach lighting is published for runway 23. PAPI is published for runways 05 and 23. Service after hours is available through the airport manager.

For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are self-coordination on the common traffic advisory frequency, the lack of published ILS and the need to verify any clearance details with Memphis ARTCC at the listed numbers. The field has been there since before 1959, so expect a well-established local operation rather than a towered environment.
