RWY 32

Murdo Muni (8F6) sits in Murdo, South Dakota. The field elevation is 2,270.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 4,000 ft of asphalt, so plan your performance with the elevation in mind. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedure or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. For a light piston, that puts you around 3,270 ft MSL. The published remarks matter here. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Runway lights on 14 and 32 are activated by keying the CTAF five times. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current FBO availability. Murdo is a non-towered field with a single runway, so keep your radio work tight and watch for traffic. The elevation is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Verify current airport details in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
