Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KGLD?
Renner Field / Goodland Municipal Airport operates three runways. Runway 12/30 is the primary paved surface, a 5,499-foot concrete strip 100 feet wide. Runway 05/23 offers a second paved option at 4,001 feet long and 75 feet wide, also concrete. A third runway, 17/35, is a 1,754-foot turf strip 40 feet wide for lighter traffic. KGLD is not towered, so runway selection and traffic sequencing are handled by pilots on CTAF.
Is there a taxiway weight restriction at KGLD?
Yes, KGLD restricts taxiway A2 to aircraft over 12,500 pounds only. Operators planning to use that taxiway with lighter aircraft should plan an alternate route on the field. This restriction is specific to taxiway A2 and does not apply to the runways themselves. Dispatchers routing heavier business aircraft through Goodland Municipal should factor this into ground movement planning, particularly during unattended hours since the field is not towered.
What lighting is available at Goodland Municipal Airport?
Goodland Municipal Airport (KGLD) provides pilot-activated lighting on CTAF for several systems. Runway 30 has a MALSR approach lighting system, and runway 12 has REIL. PAPI is installed on both runway 05 and runway 23, and MIRL medium-intensity runway lighting covers both runway 05/23 and runway 12/30. All of these systems require pilot activation over the common traffic advisory frequency since the airport has no operating control tower.
Are there any approach obstructions at KGLD?
Renner Field / Goodland Municipal Airport has an unmarked 30-foot power line located 1,300 feet from the runway across the approach path, with a 43:1 slope ratio. Pilots flying the affected approach should account for this obstruction during descent planning. The PAPI at KGLD also has a known limitation: it is unusable beyond 8 degrees left of centerline, which should be considered alongside the power line when flying a visual approach into KGLD.
How does business aviation traffic vary by season at KGLD?
Business aviation traffic at Goodland Municipal Airport shows a seasonal pattern, with monthly operations ranging from a low of 55 in December to a high of 86 in August according to FAA TFMSC data. Summer months, particularly July and August, see the strongest activity, while the winter months of November, December, and January are consistently quieter. KGLD recorded 796 business aviation operations against 2,045 total operations in 2025. Dispatchers scheduling summer trips into KGLD should anticipate somewhat higher traffic volume than in the colder months.
