Richland Airport is in Richland, Washington. Field elevation is 394.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 4,009 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,194.3 ft MSL.

Runway 19 has the published ILS approach. The field uses CTAF 122.7 and UNICOM 122.7. Spokane Approach and Departure are on 128.75 and 377.2. The on-field FBO is Sundance Aviation. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available by major credit card with 24-hour availability. That is useful here because the field conditions are unmonitored at night, on weekends and holidays.

A few remarks matter for planning. The preferred runway in calm wind is 01/19. There is a close-in ground obstruction on runway 01. The PAPI on runway 01 is unusable beyond 3.0 NM from the threshold because of terrain on the right side of the centerline farther out. Runway lights are activated via CTAF. The approach lighting system on runway 19 is reported malfunctioning. There is also a road 550 ft west of the approach end of runway 08. First-time pilots should brief the terrain and lighting notes before arrival. Then verify the current Chart Supplement if anything looks different.
