Amana Airport sits in Amana, Iowa at 712 ft MSL. It is a small field with no runways listed in the facts block, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator before planning any arrival. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks also matter here. Trees penetrate the transitional surface near the runway 26 end. Tree groves north of runway 08/26 also penetrate the transitional surface. Ditches are located at runway edges. Thresholds and edges are marked with yellow cones on 08 and 26. The controlling obstruction on 08 exceeds a 45 degree slope.

The field is closed from first snowfall to early spring. A gravel road across the runway is closed and barricaded. Deer are in the vicinity. Ultralight activity is discouraged. For clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival.
