Elkader Airport (I27) sits in Elkader, Iowa. The field elevation is 932 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 1,705 ft of turf, so plan for short-field performance and soft-field technique. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway markings use yellow cones. Trees sit on both sides of the runway centerline extended near the threshold of runway 35. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and landing.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need fuel, services, or local field conditions, contact the airport operator directly or call ahead before arrival. For winter operations, the published remarks say to call 563-880-2915 for conditions. Clearance delivery is handled through Chicago ARTCC at 630-906-8921. This is a small turf field with no tower and no published instrument approach. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go if you need the latest operational notes.
