RWY 36

Eppley Airfield sits in Omaha, Nebraska. Field elevation is 984.5 ft MSL. The airport has 3 runways. The longest is 9,502 ft on 14R/32L. The tower is open 24 hours. Airport lighting is also available 24 hours. Six ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current published data says otherwise.

This is a busy Class C field with multiple concrete runways. Runway 14L/32R is 8,500 ft. Runway 18/36 is 8,154 ft. The published remarks also note birds on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. The terminal ramp and some taxi areas have closures and work in progress. Large aircraft should check the current airport notes before taxiing, especially around the terminal ramp and the closed holding bays.

On the field, Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Signature Aviation also carries 100LL and Jet A. If you are new to KOMA, get the latest taxi and ramp picture before you move. The airport manager is the CEO of the Omaha Airport Authority, so airport status and ramp access questions are best confirmed with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
