RWY 30

BILLY G RAY FLD is in Chappell, Nebraska. The field elevation is 3,681.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 4,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The runway headings are 130° and 310° magnetic. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 4,681.7 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.

Published remarks matter here. The pavement on 12/30 has severe block cracking and foreign object debris throughout. The runway lights are medium intensity. They come up at low intensity by default. Use CTAF to increase intensity. Approach notes also mention a displaced threshold and a 45:1 approach slope there. This is a high-elevation field on the Nebraska plains, so performance planning matters on warm days.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator directly before arrival for services or hangar availability. Clearance delivery is handled through Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257.
