Mc Laughlin Muni sits in Mc Laughlin, South Dakota. Field elevation is 2,008 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 3,789 ft long with asphalt pavement. It is a non-towered field, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. UNICOM is also 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 3,008 ft MSL.
Published remarks note that clearance delivery goes through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. They also note 100LL fuel contact numbers, so call ahead if fuel is part of your plan. Runway 13/31 has medium intensity lights. PAPI on both runway ends is activated by CTAF. That is useful for night or low-light arrivals.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to watch are the non-towered traffic flow, the field elevation and the lighting activation method. Check the current Chart Supplement for any updates before you go.
