Napoleon Muni sits in Napoleon, North Dakota. The field elevation is 1,985 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 3,220 ft. Runway 08/26 is turf and 1,600 ft long. This is an uncontrolled field with CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston planning, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 08/26 is closed from October through April because snow removal is not provided on that strip. Regular snow removal is provided for the airport, so winter conditions still need a check with the airport manager before you go. Lighting is available from dusk to 0600.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. There is also a railroad near runway 26. A building and trees are noted near runway 08, plus a ditch just beyond the runway 08 threshold. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. If you are planning a night arrival or a winter stop, verify the current field condition with the airport manager before departure.
