Northwood Muni/Vince Fld is in Northwood, North Dakota. The field elevation is 1,118.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 3,160 ft long and asphalt. This is an uncontrolled airport. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. 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. That puts the pattern at about 2,118.9 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway lighting is medium intensity on 08/26. The PAPI is available for both runway directions and is activated by the CTAF.
Northwood Aero Service is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. For a first-time arrival, watch for birds and deer in the area. Winter can also bring snow-covered runway conditions on 08/26, so confirm surface conditions before you go. For clearance delivery, the published contact is Minneapolis ARTCC. If you need after-hours service, call the airport manager directly. The airport sits in open country, so plan for normal rural North Dakota weather and be ready to verify current conditions before departure.
