RWY 36

Joplin Regional Airport sits in Joplin, Missouri. Field elevation is 977.9 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 6,502 ft. Runway 13/31 is 6,501 ft. The tower is open 0600-2100. ILS approaches are published for runway 13 and runway 18.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or local procedures tell you otherwise. Mizzou Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call them at (417) 623-1331 for current service details.

A few remarks matter here. Birds are reported on and near the airport in spring and fall. Runway 13/31 and 18/36 both have published pavement limits, so check your aircraft weight and runway suitability before you go. When the tower is closed, the lighting setup changes by runway. If you are arriving after hours, verify the current lighting and approach setup with the current FAA Chart Supplement or the FBO directly by phone.

For the first-time pilot, the big things are the towered environment, the two long paved runways and the published ILS options. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach flight service, contact Kansas City Center at 913-254-8508. Hazardous cargo and some large unscheduled passenger operations need prior permission 48 hours ahead.
