INDEPENDENCE MUNI sits in Independence, Kansas. The field elevation is 824.7 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 5,501 ft. Runway 04/22 is 3,402 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05.
One ILS approach is published for runway 35. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is active with crop dusting traffic, farm machinery, wildlife and flight training. Runway 35 is the calm wind runway. Runway 04/22 has no line of sight between the ends. There are 15 ft trees 72 ft distant, 186 ft left of runway 04, so keep that in mind on short final.
Independence Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL self-serve is available 24 hours. Lighting is mixed by runway. Runway 35 has MALSR. Runways 17 and 35 have high intensity runway lighting. Runways 04 and 22 have PAPI and medium intensity runway lighting. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC. A first-time pilot should expect a busy non-towered field with ag traffic. Use CTAF early and often.
