The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 17 has a lighted pole 495 ft from the displaced threshold on the right side. Runways 17 and 35 are marked with yellow cones at the corners and edges. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details. For clearance delivery, use Des Moines Approach at 515-974-8016. If that office is closed, Minneapolis ARTCC handles clearance delivery at 651-463-5588.
