The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. Eagle Air is on the field. It carries 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. Runway markings are faded. The runway lights are medium intensity and start at low. Increase intensity on CTAF if needed. In-pavement flush end lights on 06/24 are obscured by debris.

This is a small non-towered field, so expect normal self-announce traffic work on CTAF. The published remarks also call out winter snow conditions. Call ahead before a cold-weather arrival to confirm the runway has been plowed. There are obstructions near the 06 end. A road and fence sit close to the runway end on both sides. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588 when needed.
