Kearney Regional Airport sits in Kearney, Nebraska. The field elevation is 2,131.8 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 18/36 at 7,094 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.0 for local traffic and lighting control. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 36. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Kearney Flight Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (308) 234-4072 if you need current ramp or fuel details. The published remarks also matter here. Runway lights on 18/36 start at low intensity. Use the CTAF to raise intensity and to activate the approach lighting and runway end identifier lights where published. The apron has several closed areas, so taxi with care. This is a higher-elevation Nebraska field, so expect the usual density altitude planning on warm days. The airport also publishes ARFF index B equipment. For air carrier operations, there are coordination and notice requirements in the remarks. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before arrival if you need the latest operational details.
