Brainerd Lakes Regional Airport is in Brainerd, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,232.2 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 16/34 at 7,100 ft. Runway 05/23 is 6,512 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF and UNICOM 122.7 for local traffic and lighting control. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 23 and 34.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. NorthPoint Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Deer and gulls are reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on departure and in the pattern. Runway 34 is listed as the calm wind runway. That is useful when winds are light or variable.
The lighting setup is worth knowing before you arrive at night. Runway lights on 05/23 and 16/34 are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF to raise intensity. That also activates runway end identifier lights on 05 and 16. It also brings up the medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights on 23 and 34. For large unscheduled aircraft operations, prior permission is required. Check the current Chart Supplement for any other local procedures before flying in.
