Buchan is in Englewood, Florida. The field elevation is 15 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 2,040 ft long and surfaced with turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedure says otherwise. The runway markings are simple. Runway 12/30 edge markings use white tires. The thresholds are marked with three white tires perpendicular to the centerline. The runway is described as rough and bare in spots. Drainage swales run along both sides. There are also 30 ft trees about 140 ft from the centerline on both sides, so plan your approach and departure with that in mind.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current services. Published remarks also note ultralight activity on and near the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Myers Approach at 239-416-1026. When Approach is closed, contact Miami ARTCC at 305-716-1731. If you are planning a first visit, check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operational notes before you go.
