RWY 31W

Baudette Intl is in Baudette, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,085.4 ft MSL. It has 2 runways. The longest is 6,000 ft on the water runway 13W/31W. The asphalt runway 12/30 is 5,498 ft. This is an uncontrolled airport with CTAF and UNICOM both on 122.8. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Runway 30 has an ILS approach. That is the only published ILS in the facts here. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF. That includes runway end identifier lights, PAPI on 12 and 30 and high intensity runway lights on 12/30. The HIRL is preset to low intensity. The airport is owned by the city of Baudette. There is a seaplane landing area just north of the land facility, so watch for mixed fixed-wing and floatplane traffic in the area.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. For fuel or after-hours help, call the airport manager. Birds are reported on and near the airport, so keep an eye out on approach and departure. If you need clearance delivery and cannot reach Flight Service, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
