Arthur Airport (1A2) sits in Arthur, North Dakota. Field elevation is 973 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,100 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field performance and keep the surface condition in mind before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,973 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The published remarks also call out 50-foot trees near runway 17 on both sides of the centerline, about 600 ft from the threshold. Birds and deer are also reported in the area. There is no snow removal available, so winter use needs a careful look at current surface conditions before departure.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need current services or local coordination, contact the airport authority directly. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is the published contact. This is a small non-towered turf field, so a normal self-announce pattern and good lookout discipline matter. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in if you want the latest operational notes or seasonal restrictions.
