Guthrie County Rgnl sits in Guthrie Center, Iowa. Field elevation is 1,220.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, at 3,400 ft of concrete. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field sits in the Des Moines area flow for approach and departure services. CTAF is 122.8. UNICOM is 122.8. Published remarks say the runway lights on 18/36 are preset to low intensity. Use CTAF to increase light intensity. That also activates PAPI on 18 and 36 plus REIL on both ends. The PAPI on runway 36 is unusable beyond 8 degrees right of centerline. Clearance delivery is handled through Des Moines Air Traffic Control Tower.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival for current services. The published remarks also note an alternate manager phone number. Pilots should also note the remark that the airport is planned to be abandoned. Verify current status in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. At 1,220.5 ft MSL, expect a little more density altitude effect than a lowland strip on a warm day.
