Runway 09/27 is 3,401 ft. The field is towered from 0600 to 2130. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes to tower hours before you go.

One ILS approach is published for runway 30. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the Chart Supplement says otherwise. Jefferson City Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available from 0630 to 2030 Zulu. Light to moderate bird activity is reported in the area. The published remarks also note that runway 30 lighting can be activated by CTAF when the tower is closed. The VASI on runways 12 and 30 operate continuously.

For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the towered environment, the single ILS on 30 and the runway lighting procedures after tower hours. The airport also notes that clearance delivery is handled through Mizzou Approach. If you need current operational details, call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
