Benson Muni sits in Benson, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,039.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 4,000 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern near 2,039.3 ft MSL. The runway has medium intensity lighting. It starts at low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the runway end identifier lights. PAPI is available on runway 14/32. The published remarks also say runway 14 PAPI is unusable beyond 2 NM.
Benson Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. Category C and D aircraft operations are prohibited, so larger aircraft should verify suitability before planning in. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. For any current procedure changes, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
