INTL FALLS sits in International Falls, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,110 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts for this field. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is 600 ft AGL, which is 1,710 ft MSL. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
This is a seaplane base setup, so plan your arrival with that in mind. UNICOM is located at Falls International Airport two miles southwest. Pilots are asked to keep 500 ft AGL pattern separation from traffic at that airport. The windsock is by the Border Patrol helipad about one half mile west of the seaplane dock. There is also a plus 105 ft lookout tower north of the facility on the Canadian side of the river. That is worth keeping in mind on the approach.
No on-field FBOs are listed. If you need current fuel or service options, contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. Aircraft needing US Customs should contact Princeton Flight Service Station on 123.6 15 minutes before arrival. Call US Customs at (218) 283-2541 before takeoff if needed.
