Northwood Muni sits in Northwood, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,226 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,300 ft of turf, with magnetic headings 178° and 358°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,226 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the field on CTAF for current services before you go. Published remarks matter here. No snow removal is provided. The airport is closed when snow conditions exist. Crop dusting occurs on and near the airport, so expect low-level ag work traffic. Runway 17 and 35 touchdown zones and edges are marked with yellow cones. Solar lights operate from sunset to sunrise. There is also an 18-foot road 100 feet east and parallel to the runway centerline. That is worth keeping in mind on final and during rollout.
For clearance delivery, contact Rochester Approach or Minneapolis ARTCC when Rochester is closed. This is a turf strip with a single runway, so check surface condition and local traffic before committing.
