Fosston Muni/Anderson Fld is in Fosston, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,278.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 3,502 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF 122.9 for local traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has a magnetic variation of 3°. That matters when you brief runway headings and wind correction.
On the field, Fosston Municipal Airport carries 100LL. It also has 24-hour self-serve fuel by credit card. Published remarks note that runway 16 has a controlling obstruction with a steep slope issue. They also note a small brush obstruction left of the runway and close in. Runway lighting is nonstandard on 16/34. The lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI and runway end identifier lights are available for both ends.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to watch are the short runway, the lack of tower services and the published lighting notes. If you need clearance delivery and the ground communications outlet is not available, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at the number in the Chart Supplement. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go.
