RWY 34

Seward Muni sits in Seward, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,505.5 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 4,200 ft of concrete on 16/34. The turf runway is 3,400 ft on 04/22. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Omaha Approach handles approach and departure services on 124.0 and 270.3. For clearance delivery, contact Omaha Approach at 402-682-4395. Whisler Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours a day.

A few published remarks matter for planning. There is a road crossing the runway centerline near both ends of 16/34, so pay attention on rollout and during takeoff. Medium intensity runway lights are on 16/34. PAPI is installed on 16 and 34. The airport sits in open country with modest elevation, so density altitude can still matter on warm Nebraska days. Check the current Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
