Columbus Muni sits in Columbus, North Dakota. Field elevation is 1,931 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 2,560 ft of turf, so performance planning matters if you are bringing a heavier airplane or operating on a soft surface. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and confirm services before you go. Published remarks point to winter limitations. No snow removal is available during winter months, so check conditions with the airport manager before arrival. The remarks also note an obstacle issue near runway 25. There is a road near the displaced threshold. There is also a ditch close to the threshold. That makes a careful look at runway condition and landing distance important before you commit. This is a non-towered field with no published ILS, so VFR arrivals should be ready to self-announce clearly and keep an eye on turf condition, winds and density altitude.
