M85 is in Gideon, Missouri. The field elevation is 269 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 4,504 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The airport is closed daily from sunset to sunrise except for helicopter operations.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,269 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 15 and runway 33 markings are severely faded. The runway width varies from 58 to 60 ft. The north taxiway to runway 15 is closed. The south taxiway north of runway 33 is closed. Grass is growing in cracks on the parallel taxiway.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Crop dusting and ultralight aircraft operate on and near the airport. That makes a good traffic scan important on arrival and departure. If you need clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC at the numbers in the Chart Supplement. For a first-time stop, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks also show the field has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.
