Philip Billard Muni is in Topeka, Kansas. The field elevation is 881.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,099 ft on runway 13/31. The other runway is 18/36 at 4,331 ft. The airport has a control tower. Tower hours are 0700-1900.
One ILS approach is published for runway 13. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current traffic pattern altitude before you go. TOP Fuel Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead if you need after-hours 100LL. The airport also notes multicom on 121.900.
For a first-time arrival, watch the bird activity. Large and small migratory birds are reported on and near the airport. When the tower is closed, runway lighting and approach lighting for 13, 18, 31 and 18/36 are activated on CTAF. That matters if you are planning a night arrival. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach flight service, Kansas City ARTCC is listed as the backup contact.
