Ulysses Airport sits in Ulysses, Kansas. Field elevation is 3,071 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 6,000 ft. Runway 12/30 is 4,600 ft. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8. The pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival in lower weather. The runway lighting setup is good to know before a night arrival. Runway end identifier lights are active on 17 and 35. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on both runways. PAPI is installed on 12, 17, 30 and 35. Glider and ultralight activity also occurs on and near the airport. Keep your scan active in the pattern and on climbout.
North Star Aviation is on the field. It carries Jet A. For clearance delivery, if you cannot reach flight service on the usual frequency, Kansas City Center is listed in the remarks. There is also a public phone available 24 hours. One published obstruction note calls out a 50-foot building near the departure end of runway 12. Give that runway a careful look during planning and departure.
