Fairbury Muni is in Fairbury, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,478.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 3,700 ft on concrete. Runway 11/29 is turf at 2,487 ft. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic on CTAF 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field sitting above 1,400 ft MSL, performance planning still matters on warm days. The published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 17/35. PAPI and REIL are available on runways 17 and 35. They operate with the common traffic advisory frequency.
Fairbury Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Twenty-four hour self-service fuel is available by credit card system. Bottled oxygen is available by request only. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. If you are new to the field, brief the turf runway before you go. Check surface condition. Check wind. Check braking needs before choosing 11/29.
