Buzzards Roost (O18) is in Inola, Oklahoma. The field elevation is 661 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning a landing. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks also say to contact Tulsa Approach at 918-831-6714 or 918-831-6720 for clearance delivery. Another published remark warns that weeds 3 feet high are on the entire runway surface. That is a major operational issue. Verify the field condition before you go.

For a first-time pilot, the big takeaway is simple. This is a low-elevation Oklahoma field with no tower and no published ILS. The runway surface condition needs extra attention because of the weed report. If you are filing or expecting IFR support, get the latest guidance from the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator before departure.
