Waterloo Rgnl sits in Waterloo, Iowa at 873 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 12/30 at 8,399 ft. The other runway is 18/36 at 6,003 ft. The field is towered from 0600 to 2000. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting procedures on CTAF for the runway you plan to use. One ILS approach is available for runway 12. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,873 ft MSL here.
Livingston Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure. Airport surface conditions are unmonitored from 2200 to 0430 daily. That matters if you are planning a late arrival or early departure. Runway 30 is the calm wind runway. Taxiway A lighting between runway 12/30 and the Army Aviation Support Ramp is not available. Plan your ground movement with that in mind. The airport also notes that ends of the other runways are not visible when departing any runway.
