Bowbells Muni sits in Bowbells, North Dakota. The field elevation is 1,955 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 08/26 at 2,900 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,955 ft MSL based on the published field elevation.
This is a turf field, so wet conditions matter. The published remarks say the runway can be irregular and soft when wet. Water ponding is possible. Taxiways can also be soft when wet, with a 1 inch drainage swale. Snow removal is irregular, so confirm runway condition before you go. The runway is marked with black and white cones. The displaced threshold on runway 26 is marked only with daylight black and white cones.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. For current fuel or service options, contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current availability. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. The runway has a 25-foot railroad obstruction 520 feet from the displaced threshold on the 26 end, with a 20 to 1 approach slope. Plan your arrival with that in mind.
