Northome Muni sits in Northome, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,430 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is 12/30 at 3,199 ft. 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 for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,430 ft MSL for a normal light-aircraft pattern. Runway 12/30 has reported ruts. The runway 12 and 30 ends are marked with yellow cones. Runway 02/20 is not maintained during winter months. The 02 end is marked with yellow cones. The 20 end and displaced threshold are also marked with yellow cones. The published thresholds are set to give at least 20 to 1 obstacle clearance.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Tiedowns are not marked. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. The airport manager contact email is NORTHOME@PAULBUNYAN.NET. First-time pilots should plan for turf performance. Watch the runway surface closely. Verify current field condition before committing. In winter, 02/20 may not be usable. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
