No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF is 122.7. Fargo Approach handles clearance delivery. Published remarks also note low intensity runway lights on 18/36 that are activated by CTAF. Runway markings on both ends are faded. Plan for a careful look on rollout and lineup.

Paja is also noted in the vicinity. If you are arriving after a major winter storm, confirm conditions with the airport manager before you go. For a first-time stop, the big items are the short single runway, the non-towered pattern and the need to verify winter surface conditions before departure.
