Capital City Airport is in Frankfort, Kentucky. The field elevation is 812.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 5,506 ft long. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for self-announced traffic. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 25. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Capital City Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Call (502) 564-3714 for current service details before you go. Published remarks matter here. Departures from runway 07 need to stay on runway heading to 1,800 ft MSL before turning. The runway 25 PAPI is unusable more than 8 degrees right of centerline. Military helicopter traffic works north of the runway. Deer and birds are also reported on and near the field.
This is an uncontrolled airport with mixed traffic, so keep your scan up. Expect helicopter activity near the north side. If you need current noise or operating restrictions, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
