Lac Qui Parle County Airport is in Madison, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,082.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 3,300 ft asphalt. Runway 09/27 is 3,003 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 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at about 2,083 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport is non-towered, so plan your calls early and keep a close ear on the CTAF.
The on-field FBO is Lac Qui Parle County Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours by credit card. Runway 14/32 has medium intensity lighting. The lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is also published for 14 and 32. Runway end identifier lights are listed for those ends as well. Runway 09 and runway 27 ends are marked with yellow cones. Runways 09/27 are not plowed during winter months, so check surface conditions before you plan a turf arrival or departure. For clearance delivery, if you cannot reach flight service, Minneapolis ARTCC is the published backup contact.
