KEOSAUQUA MUNI sits in Keosauqua, Iowa. The field elevation is 580 ft MSL. No tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. The airport has one listed runway, 06/24, though the runway count in the source data is not shown as a standard paved set. The published remarks say the runway 06/24 thresholds and edges are marked with yellow cones. They also say the surface is rough.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The remarks also note an obstruction near runway 06 that creates a 20 to 1 approach to the displaced threshold. The controlling obstruction near runway 24 exceeds a 45 degree slope. That is worth a careful look on arrival and departure.

No on-field FBOs are listed. The remarks say no snow removal is provided. The airport is closed when snow conditions exist. A public phone is located at the main hangar. For clearance delivery, contact Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508. If you need current local operating details, call the airport operator or check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
