Wells Muni sits in Wells, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,119 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is a 2,897 ft turf strip. The airport is non-towered, so CTAF 122.9 is the main frequency for traffic calls.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Wells Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available from the fuel truck. Call the FBO at (507) 553-3100 for after-hours service.
A few published remarks matter here. Yellow cones mark the ends of both runway 17 and runway 35. Nonstandard low intensity runway lights are installed because of spacing. If you need clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC handles that at 651-463-5588. For a first visit, treat this as a small turf field with limited approach support. Check runway condition. Check lighting status. Check wind before you go. The turf surface and 2,897 ft length make technique and performance planning important, especially when the field is soft or the wind is not aligned with the runway.
