Sisseton Muni sits in Sisseton, South Dakota. Field elevation is 1,162.2 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 3,400 ft asphalt. Runway 04/22 is 1,914 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,162.2 ft MSL by the standard rule of thumb. Verify the local pattern before you go. The on-field FBO is Sisseton Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card.

A few published remarks matter here. Runway 16/34 has PAPI and medium intensity lights that are activated on CTAF. Runway 04/22 is marked with black and white cones. That turf runway is closed during winter months. There are also fence hazards near both ends of the runways, so pay close attention on short final and during the flare. Waterfowl and gulls are reported in the area. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. If you are planning a night or low-visibility arrival, remember there is no published ILS. Check the current Chart Supplement and brief the field carefully before departure.
