Faribault Muni-Liz Wall Strofhus Fld sits in Faribault, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,060.1 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 12/30 at 4,257 ft. Runway 01/19 is 2,300 ft turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Minneapolis Approach handles the published approach and departure frequencies. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. Quality Aviation is on the field.

A few runway notes matter here. Runway 12 can see turbulence and windshear when winds are out of the south. Runway 30 has a road near the departure end with a published obstruction note. Runway 12 also has a tree close to the runway end on the right side. Runway 01/19 is marked with yellow cones. It is not plowed in winter and is open for ski planes. Runway 12/30 lighting is preset low. Use CTAF to increase intensity and turn on the runway end identifier lights. For a first-time arrival, check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures, then brief the runway condition and lighting before you go.
