North Platte Rgnl/Lee Bird Fld (KLBF) sits in North Platte, Nebraska. The field elevation is 2,777 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 8,001 ft. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. One ILS is published. It serves runway 30.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures or ATC instructions say otherwise. Trego-Dugan Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Clearance delivery goes through Denver ARTCC. If that is not available, use Flight Service Station through the remote communications outlet. Waterfowl are reported on and near the airport. Expect bird activity on arrival and departure.
Runway 12/30 has high intensity lighting, PAPI on both ends and MALSR on runway 30. Runway 17/35 has medium intensity lighting, VASI on runway 35 and REIL on runway 35. Runway 35 also has a published approach slope note to the displaced threshold. If you are planning a larger aircraft or an unscheduled air carrier flight, check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport manager. The field also has a note for category D aircraft on runway 12/30. Those aircraft need a 1,500 ft pattern altitude when in the pattern.
