Gwinner/Roger Melroe Fld (KGWR) sits in Gwinner, North Dakota. Field elevation is 1,265.5 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 5,000 ft of concrete. Runway 06/24 is 2,991 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Hoistad Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-service 100LL is available 24 hours with credit card. That is useful if you are planning an early arrival or a quick turn.
Winter is the big operational issue here. Runway 06/24 is closed during winter months. Before you go, confirm winter conditions and runway 16/34 snow removal with the airport contacts in the Chart Supplement or by calling the airport directly. The published remarks also note deer and birds in the area. Runway 16 has a lighted tower 17,500 ft from the threshold, 3,000 ft right of the extended centerline. Runway 16/34 also has REIL, PAPI and medium intensity runway lights controlled on CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC.
