Buffalo Muni sits in Buffalo, Minnesota. The field elevation is 967.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,200 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The airport uses CTAF 122.8 and UNICOM 122.8. Minneapolis Approach also serves the field on 126.5 and 335.65. Published remarks say the runway lights on 18/36 are medium intensity and controlled by CTAF. They start at low intensity from sunset to sunrise. The runway end identifier lights and PAPI are installed on both ends. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. Buffalo Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered traffic flow, the ultralight traffic in the area and the lighting setup if you are arriving near dusk or after dark. The airport manager is listed in the Chart Supplement if you need the latest local details before you go.
