Winterset Muni sits in Winterset, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,115.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 3,002 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,915.5 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. The airport uses CTAF 122.7 and UNICOM 122.7. Des Moines Approach and Departure are on 123.9 and 360.7. XCL Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (515) 954-2600 for current service details.
A few runway notes matter here. Runway 32 is listed as the calm wind runway. The runway 32 safety area extends 240 ft past the end. There is a sharp drop there. There is also inadequate clearance for holding on the turnaround at the threshold of runway 32. Runway 14 has a displaced threshold because of road clearance. The approach slope from that displaced threshold is 6 to 1. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 14/32. The PAPI on both ends is activated by CTAF. Ultralight traffic also operates on and near the airport. If you are new to the field, brief the runway ends carefully and verify current conditions with the airport operator or the FBO before arrival.
