NASH FLD INDIANOLA (6Z6) sits in Indianola, Iowa. The field elevation is 991 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,215 ft of turf, so plan for short-field performance and soft-field technique. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly. The published remarks also matter. Trees 75 ft tall sit on the approach to runway 18 about 250 ft from the runway end. That makes the south end worth a close look on arrival and departure. Low intensity runway lights are nonstandard. They are activated via CTAF. Threshold lights are red and green at the runway corners and centerline.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field for current service details before arrival. The published remarks also say no balloons and no ultralights are permitted. For clearance delivery, contact Des Moines Approach at 515-974-8016. If you are new to the field, review the current Chart Supplement and plan conservatively for the turf surface. Also plan for the tree obstruction near runway 18. The lighting setup at night deserves a close check.
