Imperial Muni is in Imperial, Nebraska. The field elevation is 3,276 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 13/31 at 5,022 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 4,276 ft MSL. The airport sits in southwest Nebraska, so density altitude can matter in warm weather. The elevation is already high enough to notice performance changes on takeoff.

The on-field FBO is Imperial Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL. 100LL is available 24 hours a day via credit card. The published remarks also note seasonal bird activity near the airport. Runway 03/21 is not plowed in winter. Crop spraying operations are common from April through August, so expect extra traffic in the area. Runway 13/31 has medium intensity lights, PAPI and REILs. REILs are activated via CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257. If you need current local procedures or any restriction details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before departure.
