KBFF sits in Scottsbluff, Nebraska at 3,967.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 8,279 ft on runway 12/30. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.0 for traffic and runway coordination. The field has two ILS approaches. They serve runways 12 and 30. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Valley Airways is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Classic Aircraft Service is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The airport remarks also note runway lighting details that matter after sunset. Runway 12/30 has high intensity lighting. Runway 05/23 has medium intensity lighting. PAPI is available on runways 12, 23 and 30. VASI is on runway 05.
This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Expect density altitude to be a real factor in warm weather. Waterfowl are present on and near the airport. There are also line of sight restrictions between the approach ends of 05 and 30. The same issue exists between 12 and 23. Runway 30 is the calm wind runway. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
