KEQA is in El Dorado, Kansas. Field elevation is 1,379.3 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 4,204 ft. This is a non-towered field, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic calls and for PAPI activation. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise.
The on-field FBO is El Dorado Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and mogas. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours. The airport remarks also note high intensity runway lighting on both runways. The PAPI can be activated on 04, 22, 15 and 33 using CTAF. There is a tree obstruction near the approach to runway 04. It sits left of the runway. Give that end a careful look on approach. The airport also advises pilots to avoid overflight of the prison north of the field.
Wichita Approach handles clearance delivery and approach control. That matters if you are filing IFR or need radar services. The field sits in Kansas terrain with no tower. Expect normal non-towered traffic discipline. Check the current Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
