RWY 34

Cando Muni Airport sits in Cando, North Dakota. The field elevation is 1,481.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 3,500 ft long and asphalt. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or airport manager says otherwise. The runway lighting is useful for night work. PAPI is available on both runway ends. Medium intensity runway lights are also installed on 16 and 34.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need fuel or local services, contact the airport manager directly before arrival. Published remarks also note irregular snow removal in winter. Check conditions before you go if the runway may be snow covered or slick. Migratory waterfowl can be in the area in March through April and again in September through October. That matters on departure and arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. The airport has been in place since before 1959. Pilots should plan for a small non-towered field with seasonal winter and wildlife considerations.
