Hill City Muni sits in Hill City, Kansas. Field elevation is 2,238.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 5,001 ft long with a concrete surface. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.9. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 3,038.4 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. The runway has high intensity lights, runway end identifier lights and PAPI on both ends. That helps at night or in marginal VMC. The published remarks also note a 4-foot berm near the departure end of runway 18, about 8 feet left of centerline. Plan for that on takeoff from 18.
The on-field FBO is Hill City Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL is available. A 24-hour attendant is listed at the airport phone number. Agricultural aircraft operate in the vicinity during daylight hours. Keep a sharp scan in the pattern and on climbout. For clearance delivery, if you cannot reach flight service, contact Denver ARTCC. This is a non-towered field with a single runway. Standard CTAF discipline matters.
