Central Nebraska Rgnl is in Grand Island, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,847.1 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 17/35 at 7,002 ft. The airport is towered from 0700 to 2000. Runway 35 has the ILS. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 2,847 ft MSL.
Trego-Dugan Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call ahead if you need ramp or fuel coordination. Published remarks say parking arrangements are available Monday through Friday from 0730 to 1600, with occasional weekend availability. Prior permission is required for the arranging ramp. Inbound aircraft must contact operations 10 minutes before landing. Large aircraft should also note the taxiway Delta exit off runway 17/35 is closed to large aircraft because of turning radius limits.
This is a busy controlled field with published lighting procedures that matter after hours. The airport also notes migratory waterfowl in and around the field. That is worth planning for on departure and arrival. If you are bringing a larger aircraft, check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before you go. The remarks also mention passenger-seat restrictions and prior coordination for some unscheduled operations.
