RWY 19

Sturgis Muni sits in Sturgis, Kentucky at 372.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 5,000 ft of asphalt. The field is non-towered. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston pilots should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. The airport is VFR only per the published remarks. Runway 01 and 19 have runway end identifier lights, PAPI and medium intensity runway lighting. That helps at night, but you still need to verify current conditions before you go.

Sturgis Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Published remarks also say 100LL is available 24 hours a day with credit card. After hours, call the airport manager’s cell phone. For clearance delivery, contact Evansville Approach. When approach is closed, use Indianapolis ARTCC. The CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

This is a small field with no tower. Expect self-announce traffic and watch your spacing. If you need noise or operating restrictions beyond the published remarks, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
