JIM KELLY FLD sits in Lexington, Nebraska. Field elevation is 2,412.6 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 14/32 at 5,489 ft on concrete. Runway 01/19 is 3,200 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published, so plan with that in mind if the weather is moving in.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Lexington Airport Autority. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. Runway 14/32 has REIL, medium intensity runway lighting and PAPI on both runways. The lights are activated on CTAF.
For a first-time arrival, the big things are the field elevation and the runway setup. Density altitude can matter here in warm weather. Runway 01/19 is not plowed during winter months. Crops may also show up as obstacles in the approach during the growing season. For clearance delivery, contact Denver ARTCC at 303-651-4257 before departure if you need IFR release or other coordination.
