Mathews Meml (8C4) sits in Tipton, Iowa. The field elevation is 840 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 3,000 ft of concrete. Runway 29 is the calm wind runway per the published remarks.
This is an untowered field. No tower hours are published. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Deer and waterfowl are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on departure and in the pattern.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service availability. For clearance delivery, the published remark points pilots to Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. The airport also lists Cedar Rapids approach and departure frequencies for radio work. If you are planning a first visit, review the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. That is the best place to confirm any current remarks, pattern details, or operating notes that may affect your arrival.
