Aberdeen Rgnl sits in Aberdeen, South Dakota. Field elevation is 1,301.9 ft MSL. The airport has 2 runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 6,901 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

On the field, Quest Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Hangar 9 carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Aberdeen Flying Service carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For after-hours service, the published remarks give direct phone numbers for Quest and Hangar 9. The airport also notes birds on and near the field. Surface conditions are not monitored from 0000 to 0330 local time. This is a non-towered airport, so plan your calls, spacing and runway selection with that in mind. If you need clearance delivery help, the published remarks point to Minneapolis ARTCC when FSS contact is not available.
