BEACH Airport (20U) sits in BEACH, North Dakota. Field elevation is 2,755.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 4,200 ft asphalt, with magnetic headings of 133° and 313°. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless current published guidance says otherwise. The field is in a high-plains setting, so density altitude can matter on warm days. Birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and in the pattern.
Golden Valley Airport Authority is on the field. It carries 100LL and JET A with Prist. Self-service 100LL is available 24 hours by credit card. The UNICOM is unattended. PAPI is active on runways 12 and 30. Medium intensity runway lights are also on runways 12 and 30. They are controlled by CTAF. For after-hours help, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the airport contact listed for the field. If you need clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. Snow removal should be confirmed after a major winter storm before you launch.
