Lincoln Airport is in Lincoln, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,218.7 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 18/36 at 12,901 ft. The airport is towered from 0600 to 2200 local. Two ILS approaches serve runway ends 18 and 36. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a busy field with multiple paved runways and a long primary north-south strip. Runway 18/36 is the calm wind runway. The airport remarks also call out birds in the vicinity, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure. When the tower is closed, the lighting setup stays usable. The MALSR on 18 and 36 operates continuously on low intensity. The HIRL on 18/36 operates continuously on medium intensity. The PAPI on 14, 17, 18, 35 and 36 also operates continuously.

Atlantic Aviation is on the field with AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Duncan Aviation is on the field with AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning to use the ANG ramp, prior permission is required. The airport also notes correct runway lineup is important. Runway 17/35 is the shorter parallel runway on the east side of the airport. For current noise, ramp, or access details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator or FBO directly.
