Atkinson Muni Airport is in Pittsburg, Kansas. The field elevation is 946.2 ft MSL. KPTS has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 6,100 ft. Runway 04/22 is 4,000 ft.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan for the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in southeast Kansas, so expect a non-towered traffic flow with local calls on CTAF. Birds are reported on and near the airport. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and arrival.
Atkinson Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. The phone number is (620) 231-5760. Published remarks also note that runway 17 and runway 35 have faded markings. Medium intensity runway lights are available on both runways. PAPI and REIL are available on 17, 35, 04 and 22. If you need clearance delivery and cannot raise Flight Service, Kansas City Center is listed in the remarks. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operational changes before you go.
