Kansas City Downtown/Wheeler Field sits in Kansas City, Missouri. Field elevation is 756.9 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is 6,827 ft. Tower service is available 24 hours. ILS approaches are published for runway 04 and runway 19.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has a busy mix of airline, corporate and local traffic. That means you should expect close attention to taxi instructions and runway assignment. The tower also has limited visibility of the T-hangar aprons plus taxiways D, W and L. Stay sharp on ground movement.
On the field, Atlantic Aviation carries Jet A. Kansas City Self-Serve carries 100LL. Signature Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. 100LL self-serve is available 24 hours on the west side near the general aviation terminal. Watch for wildlife near the airport. There are also pigeons near the departure end of runway 04. If you are using runway 22, the published VFR east pattern note says to stay at pattern altitude until north of the Missouri River. There are obstructions east-southeast of runway 19. Brief that side of the field before arrival.
