Instrument procedures will be avail from the Nov update. LPV and LNAV approach.
CTAF is 123.05
Right now, the runway, taxiway and ramp are open. Fuel is not avail, but they are in the process of self serve pumps and 100LL and Jet A full service.
The PAPI is being built and it will be the 1st all LED approach system in the entire US.
There is a covered wash ramp stall being installed at the T hangars. They are also looking to woo avionics and A&P's into the airport. Large commercial hangars are in the process of being built.
The terminal is small, but very nice!
I flew in last night and lighting control was good. The LED runway lights are more crisp than the halogen version. Taxi way lighting is not operational but is being installed and once fully completed be powered up.
Runway 04/22 is 100 ft wide and 5500 long 11" thick concrete. Approach using left traffic takes you right over the Arkansas River. There is a distinct lack of ambient lights around the airport environment. The runway is really the only lighted future in the area.
On approach, my Bi tchen Betty was screaming at me, Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up, Pull up! But this is due to it not being charted on the current cycle.
On runway 04, a leisurely roll out left me at Charlie turn out and right in front of the terminal which is convenient. The self serve pumps will be on the northeast side of the terminal when done.
