RWY 31

Hoven Muni is in Hoven, South Dakota. The field elevation is 1,885.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 3,700 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field sitting near 1,900 ft MSL, expect a higher true altitude than you may be used to at lower-elevation airports. That matters for climb performance and landing distance.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator before arrival if you need fuel or other services. Published remarks note a church steeple at 2,029 ft MSL about 6,800 ft from the runway 31 threshold. That is worth keeping in mind on the approach to 31. The runway lights on 13/31 are medium intensity. The PAPI on both ends is activated by CTAF. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC can be reached at 651-463-5588. If you are planning a night or marginal-weather arrival, verify the current Chart Supplement and be ready for a non-towered field with limited approach options.
