Eldora Airport sits in Eldora, Iowa. Field elevation is 975 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is runway 18/36 at 3,035 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
