Hutson Fld sits in Grafton, North Dakota. Field elevation is 824.5 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 4,074 ft. Runway 17/35 is 3,898 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Agrimax. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Twenty-four-hour self-serve fuel is available with credit card only.
A few local items matter on a first visit. Runway 08/26 is closed during winter months because snow removal is not provided. The turf can be soft when wet. Runway 08 has a ditch about 213 ft from the threshold. PAPI is available on runways 17 and 35. The lights on 17 and 35 come up at low intensity from dusk to 2300. After 2300, activate them on CTAF if you need more intensity. Heavy aerial spray activity runs from May through October. Large birds and deer are reported near the field. Numerous transient flight training operations also use the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC.
