Clarion Muni sits in Clarion, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,156.6 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 3,455 ft long with a concrete surface. This is an uncontrolled airport with no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For clearance delivery, the published remark points pilots to Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. That is useful to have ready if you are filing or need a clearance.
The runway lighting note matters here. Runway 14/32 has medium intensity runway lights preset to low intensity. The PAPI and REIL on runways 14 and 32 can be activated by CTAF. The same CTAF activation also increases the runway light intensity. That is worth checking before a night arrival.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current service availability. With one runway and no published ILS, plan for a straightforward VFR or non-precision arrival. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before you go.
