RWY 30

IDA GROVE MUNI is in Ida Grove, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,245 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 3,172 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 2,245 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan to verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM before arrival. Published remarks say there is no snow removal. The airport is closed when snow conditions exist. That matters in Iowa winters. The remarks also note a 4-foot wall near the runway 12 end on the centerline. Runway 12 also has a steep approach slope to the displaced threshold. Runway 30 has a steep approach slope to its displaced threshold as well. For low-intensity runway lights on 12/30, key the CTAF seven times for medium intensity only. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
