Chariton Muni sits in Chariton, Iowa. Field elevation is 1,050.5 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is runway 10/28 at 4,000 ft. Runway 17/35 is 2,800 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern reference at about 2,050.5 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The field uses Des Moines approach frequencies for IFR support. Clearance delivery is handled through Des Moines Air Traffic Control Tower by phone. If you need help on the ground, the published assistance number is also listed in the Chart Supplement remarks.
The on-field FBO is Chariton Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Runway lighting is preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and to activate runway end identifier lights. PAPI is available on runways 17, 35 and 28. Watch the published obstruction note near runway 10. There is an 18-foot road about 650 feet from the glideslope with a 25:1 clearance slope. That makes a careful approach setup smart, especially if you are arriving at night or in marginal visibility.
