Peltz Fld sits near Ringsted, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,280 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 2,040 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 2,280 ft MSL based on the field elevation. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed in the remarks. The airport also notes that no snow removal is provided. It is closed when snow conditions exist. That matters here because this is a turf strip in Iowa. Surface condition can end the day fast.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need current fuel or services, contact the airport operator directly before departure. The remarks also list the owner contact in the Chart Supplement. With no tower and no published ILS, plan conservatively and verify current field conditions before you go.
