Liberal Mid-America Rgnl sits in Liberal, Kansas. Field elevation is 2,885.4 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 7,105 ft on 17/35. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for self-announce traffic. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 3,885 ft MSL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 35 has the published ILS. Runway 17/35 also has high intensity runway lights. Runway 04/22 has medium intensity runway lights. PAPI is published on 04 and 22. VASI is published on 17 and 35. REILs are published on 04, 17 and 22. That gives you a solid night and IFR setup for a regional field in southwest Kansas.

Lyddon Aero Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For any ramp or fuel detail before arrival, call them directly at (620) 624-1646. The published remarks also note prior permission is required for some unscheduled large aircraft operations. There are timing limits for aircraft over 9 passenger seats near scheduled arrivals and departures. If you are bringing a larger aircraft, coordinate early with the airport manager or fire department. Clearance delivery fallback is Kansas City Center if you cannot reach Flight Service.
