George L Scott Muni sits in West Union, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,231.8 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,149 ft of concrete, so plan your performance with the elevation in mind. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. 100LL is available self-serve 24 hours a day, seven days a week. That helps for late arrivals or early departures. The PAPI on both runway ends is activated by keying the CTAF five times. The runway 35 PAPI is marked nonstandard. The runway 17 PAPI is also marked nonstandard. The runway 17 PAPI is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of the centerline.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call on CTAF for current service details before you go. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is the published contact. If you are planning IFR or a night arrival, brief the lighting and PAPI notes before descent. This is a small field with one runway, so keep your approach stabilized and verify the latest Chart Supplement before flight.
