RWY 33

Nebraska City Muni sits in Nebraska City, Nebraska. Field elevation is 1,165 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 15/33 at 4,501 ft, with a turf runway 05/23 at 2,550 ft. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 15/33. PAPI is available on runways 15 and 33. That helps at night or in lower visibility, but you still need to verify current field status before you go.

Blue Line Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For service and fuel, call (402) 873-0550. If they do not answer, the remarks list the airport manager at (402) 209-1012. Omaha Approach handles clearance delivery and approach or departure services. The airport sits in uncontrolled airspace from the pilot side of the pattern, so keep your radio work tight and expect normal non-towered traffic flow. There is also a note about a letter of agreement with Gress Airport for traffic pattern airspace. If that matters to your route, check the current Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before arrival.
