RWY 28

KIMBALL MUNI/ROBERT E ARRAJ FLD sits in Kimball, Nebraska. Field elevation is 4,925.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 6,199 ft of concrete, which gives you a solid strip for a high-elevation stop in western Nebraska. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures say otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 5,925.5 ft MSL. Runway 10/28 has REIL lighting, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights that are controlled by CTAF. That helps after sunset. You still want to verify the lighting setup before you go.

Kimball Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Call the airport at (308) 249-2649 for current details. Published remarks also note road obstructions near both runway ends. Runway 10 has a road close to the threshold. Runway 28 has a road beyond the end as well. This is a high-elevation airport, so expect thinner air and plan performance with that in mind. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257.
