RWY 36

Brewster Fld is in Holdrege, Nebraska. The field elevation is 2,313.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 4,701 ft. Runway 11/29 is turf at 2,429 ft. This is an unattended field with no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-aircraft pattern near 3,314 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you fly. Holdrege Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL 24-hour self-service fuel is available by credit card. For Jet A service, call ahead. The published remarks also note waterfowl in the area. Crop spraying is common from April through August. Runway 18 is the calm wind runway. Runway 18 also has a center pivot irrigator that can move through the approach during irrigation season. That is the main operational item to brief before arrival.
