Grinnell Rgnl is in Grinnell, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,008.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 5,200 ft long and paved concrete. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published remarks also say airspace determination is pending, so check the current Chart Supplement and your sectional or TAC before you go. Runway 31 is listed as the calm wind runway. Both runway ends have displaced-threshold approach slopes noted in the remarks, so brief that before arrival. The runway lights are medium intensity. They start on low intensity. Use CTAF 122.8 to bring up the lighting and to activate the PAPI and REIL on runways 13 and 31.
Lowry Flying Service is on the field. They carry 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours fuel, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the FBO directly. This is a non-towered field with one runway, so expect self-announce traffic and stay sharp on CTAF.
