Hays Rgnl sits in Hays, Kansas at 1,999.1 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 16/34 at 6,501 ft. Runway 04/22 is 4,501 ft. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. One ILS approach is published for runway 34.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at about 2,999 ft MSL. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. Ultralight activity is noted on and near the airport. Birds and deer are also present in the area, so keep a sharp scan on approach and in the pattern.
Hays Aircraft is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (785) 628-8881 for FBO hours or after-hours fuel. The airport remarks also note that runway lights and approach lighting are activated on the common traffic advisory frequency. No turf takeoffs or landings are allowed. The airport is closed to unscheduled aircraft operations with more than 30 passenger seats unless prior permission is arranged 24 hours ahead. For a first-time arrival, the big items are the elevation. The non-towered pattern matters too. The runway lighting setup for runway 34 is another item to brief.
