Mc Cook Ben Nelson Rgnl Airport sits in Mc Cook, Nebraska. Field elevation is 2,582.9 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 6,450 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 12 has the ILS and the published approach lighting. Runway 12 also has PAPI, while runway 30 has VASI. The field is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Takeoff and climb performance deserve a close look. Runway 12 is also noted as unusable beyond 5 degrees right of centerline and 8 degrees left of centerline. Runway 17/35 is turf and is not available for certain large scheduled passenger operations.
Red Willow Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement says to contact Denver ARTCC on frequency. If that is not available, use Flight Service via RCO or call Denver ARTCC directly. The airport manager is the city manager.
