Traer Muni sits in Traer, Iowa. The field elevation is 892 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 2,555 ft of turf. The runway headings are 181° and 1° magnetic. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 1,892 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are turf conditions and runway condition checks. The FAA remarks say the turf can be soft during spring thaw. Snow removal can also be delayed at times. Runway 17 and Runway 35 are marked with yellow cones. A marked and lighted parallel taxiway runs along the east edge.
No on-field FBOs are listed. The published remarks say mogas and 100LL are available for emergency only. Call ahead before you count on fuel. For clearance delivery, contact Des Moines Approach at 515-974-8016. When Des Moines Approach is closed, use Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before you go if you need current runway condition or operational details.
