Faulkton Muni is in Faulkton, South Dakota. The field elevation is 1,571 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 3,249 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. 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 local guidance says otherwise. Runway headings are magnetic. The field sits in open country. Watch for wildlife and waterfowl on and near the airport. That is a real factor here.
Runway 13 has a fence off the right side near the approach end. The Chart Supplement also notes a 50 to 1 approach ratio to the displaced threshold on that end. Automated UNICOM is available. Advisory service is also available by phone at 617-262-3825. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Verify fuel and service availability with the airport operator or on the field by radio before you go. For a first trip, plan for a non-towered arrival. Keep an eye out for wildlife. Review the current Chart Supplement before departure.
