Sidney Muni/Lloyd W Carr Fld sits in Sidney, Nebraska. The field elevation is 4,314.2 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 13/31 at 6,600 ft. This is a non-towered airport, so plan on self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.8. Lighting is available from dusk to dawn. High intensity runway lights on 13/31 are CTAF activated. Runway end identifier lights are also activated by CTAF on 13 and 31.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise. L&L Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. For after-hours help, the published remarks say to call the FBO phone number.

This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. Density altitude can be a factor, especially on warm days. Runway 03 has a power line near the departure end. Runway 21 has a hill near the departure end. Runway 31 is unusable beyond 8 degrees right of centerline. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. That is the best place to confirm any current operational notes, clearance delivery details, or changes to lighting and runway status.
