New Century AirCenter sits in Olathe, Kansas. Field elevation is 1,087.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 18/36 at 7,339 ft. The control tower is open 0600-2200. Runway 36 has the ILS. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current published pattern says otherwise.
This field has four on-field FBOs. Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Quick Turn Central carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. New Century Air Service carries 100LL. Advanced Jet Center carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport is close enough to the Kansas City metro that traffic flow matters. The published remarks call for an extended unique pattern altitude to avoid conflict with Gardner Municipal. They also call for right traffic on runways 04 and 36. Category A aircraft are restricted on runway 04/22.
There are a few operational items to brief before arrival. The tower has an obscured view of the southwest end of taxiway F and runway 04/22. Birds and waterfowl are reported on and near the field. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting setup and contact MCI Approach on 118.90 for clearance delivery.
