Albion Muni is in Albion, Nebraska. The field elevation is 1,806.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 3,700 ft long. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Albion Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours by credit card. Runway 15/33 has medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. Runway 15 also has a published tree obstruction on short final. It sits 42 ft above runway level, 882 ft from the runway end, 310 ft right of centerline. That is worth checking before you plan a straight-in or a low approach.
This is a non-towered field, so listen early on CTAF 122.9 and build a solid traffic picture. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at the published phone number. The runway is concrete. With one runway and no published ILS, weather and wind will drive the runway choice. If you are new to the airport, brief the obstacle on 15, confirm lighting activation and verify current procedures in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
