RWY 27

Fuller Airport sits in Milford, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,439 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is Runway 09/27 at 2,873 ft of asphalt. Runway 18/36 is 2,200 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. PS Aviation is on the field. It carries self-serve 100LL. The airport remarks also note that Runway 27 is the calm wind runway. Runway 18/36 has no snow removal. It is closed when snow is on the field.

This is a small non-towered airport with published runway slope and obstruction notes that matter on final. Runway 09 has a steep approach environment with trees near the end of the runway. Runway 27 also has a published approach slope to the displaced threshold. Runway 36 has a published approach slope as well. If you are planning a first visit, brief the runway lengths, the turf surface on 18/36 and the lack of ILS before you go. For clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement says to contact Minneapolis ARTCC.
