RWY 17

Karlstad Muni sits in Karlstad, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,025 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, at 2,606 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,025 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you fly. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on self-sufficiency and contact the airport operator or the field by radio for current services.

A few remarks matter here. Runway 35 has signs posted to control road traffic. Yellow cones mark the ends of both runways. The runway lights are nonstandard low intensity because the lights are spaced 400 ft apart. There are also ruts in the ramp. Runway 17 has numerous approach surface penetrations, so pay close attention on arrival and departure. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC can be reached at 651-463-5588. This is a turf strip with a short runway, so check density, surface condition and wind before committing.
