Wheaton Muni is in Wheaton, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,022.7 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 3,298 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
Pattern altitude is 976 ft AGL. That is 1,998.7 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and weather briefing in mind. The paved runway is 16/34. Runway 06/24 is turf and is 1,953 ft long. Published remarks say runway 16/34 lighting is preset to low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the PAPI for runway 16/34.
This is a small non-towered field, so standard self-announce traffic discipline matters. The published remarks also note that runway 06/24 is not plowed during winter months. Runway 06 is marked with yellow cones. The PAPI for runway 34 is unusable beyond 8 degrees left of course. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
