RWY 06

Stanton Airport (I50) sits in Stanton, Kentucky. The field elevation is 651.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 2,996 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,651 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled on 122.8. Runway end identifier lights are on 06 and 24. PAPI is on runway 06.

The on-field FBO is Stanton Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. The terminal access gate code is 0651. For clearance delivery, contact Lexington Approach at 859-514-7890.

Watch the runway environment on both ends. The published remarks call out a 20:1 approach slope to the displaced threshold on runway 06. Runway 24 has trees beyond the threshold that affect the approach path. This is a small non-towered field, so plan for self-announce traffic and verify current procedures before arrival.
