Britton Muni sits in Britton, South Dakota. Field elevation is 1,318.4 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 4,210 ft asphalt. Runway 01/19 is 2,034 ft turf. 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 pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The field has medium intensity runway lights, runway end identifier lights and PAPI on runways 13 and 31. That helps for night work on the paved strip. Dakota Ag Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours with a credit card. Wildlife is a real factor here. Waterfowl and gulls are reported on and near the airport. There is also a fence post over 6 ft tall near runway 01. There is a fence near the threshold of runway 19. Runway 01/19 also has nonstandard black and white cone markings. If you need clearance delivery and ground comms are not available, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. For a first-time arrival, brief the turf runway, the wildlife and the lighting setup before you go.
