Searle Fld is in Ogallala, Nebraska. The field elevation is 3,279.3 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 5,102 ft. There is no control tower, so plan for CTAF self-announce work on 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Searle Field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (308) 284-3848 if you need current service details.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway 08 is listed as the calm wind runway. Runway 08 also has an unlighted center pivot irrigation system that can rotate through the approach during irrigation season. Lighting is available on both runways. PAPI is active on 08, 26 and 31. VASI is active on 13. Medium intensity runway lights are on 08/26 and 13/31. All lighting is controlled by the CTAF. If you need clearance delivery help and cannot reach Flight Service, the published remark points pilots to Denver Center. This is a good field for a careful brief before arrival, especially if you are planning a night or low-visibility stop.
