The traffic pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in open country, but the remarks matter here. Runway 08/26 has a rolling turf surface with clumpy grass and possible animal holes. The first 200 ft of runway 8 rises at a 5 percent slope. Pilots at one end cannot see traffic at the opposite end because of the runway gradient. There is also a lake shore close to the north edge near the midpoint of runway 8 and 26. Birds are reported on and near the airport. The airport is closed in winter because there is no snow removal. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. If you are planning a first stop here, treat it as a short turf field with limited visibility across the runway. Verify current conditions before departure.
