Bentonville Muni/Louise M Thaden Fld (KVBT) sits in Bentonville, Arkansas at 1,297.9 ft MSL. The field has two runways. The longest is 18/36 at 5,053 ft. Runway 17/35 is turf at 2,448 ft. There is no control tower. Published traffic pattern altitude is not given, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning a low-weather arrival. Check the current Chart Supplement for the latest approach setup before you launch. Legends Air Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. For clearance delivery, Razorback Approach is listed in the remarks. If approach is closed, contact Memphis ARTCC directly.
A few operational notes matter here. Migratory birds are reported on and near the airport. Runway 17/35 is for VFR daylight use only. Simultaneous use of runways 17/35 and 18/36 is not authorized. For runway 18/36, the PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are activated on CTAF. The north end of runway 18 has a drop to a pond just beyond the pavement, so pay attention on rollout and on any short-field planning.
