KIMBALL MUNI sits in Kimball, South Dakota. The field elevation is 1,755 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, at 2,625 ft of 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 unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is closed for night operations. That matters here. Plan your arrival in daylight. Verify your timing before launch.
Runway 13 and runway 31 are both marked with white and black cones. That is a useful visual cue on a turf strip. Clearance delivery, when needed, is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services. For a first visit, the main things to watch are the turf surface, the single short runway and the lack of published instrument approach support. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
