RWY 32

Fertile Muni is in Fertile, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,136.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 3,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless current local guidance says otherwise.

The on-field FBO is Fertile Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. The airport remarks also note that runway thresholds are displaced because of obstacles in the approach surfaces. That means you should pay close attention to the usable landing distance and the displaced threshold markings before you turn final. Medium intensity runway lights for 14/32 are activated on CTAF. The PAPI for both runway directions is also activated on CTAF.

This is a non-towered field with CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. Approach and departure service is handled by Grand Forks on 118.1 or 318.1. The airport remarks call out vehicle traffic on the taxiways, so keep your scan moving on the ground. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. If you need current noise, curfew, or operating restrictions, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before you go.
