KGDB sits in Granite Falls, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,047.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, at 4,357 ft. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The on-field FBO is Granite Falls Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. The airport information phone number is 320-564-5665. The FBO phone is (320) 564-1831.
A few operational items matter here. Deer are reported on and near the airport. There is a noise sensitive area within 1.5 miles north of runway 15/33. The runway lights are medium intensity and start on low. To increase intensity, activate the runway end identifier lights and the PAPI on runways 15 and 33 via CTAF. If you need clearance delivery and ground communications are not available, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. For a first time arrival, plan for a quiet non-towered field with local traffic on 122.8 and check the current Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
