Iowa Falls Muni sits in Iowa Falls, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,137.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 4,602 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Runway 13/31 has medium intensity lighting. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI are installed on both ends. They are controlled by CTAF. Runway 31 is listed as the calm wind runway. For clearance delivery, Des Moines Approach is the first call. When Des Moines Approach is closed, Minneapolis ARTCC handles clearance delivery.
Iowa Falls Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist availability. 24-hour self-serve 100LL is available. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. The airport sits in uncontrolled airspace from the tower standpoint, so plan your arrival. Self-announce clearly. Expect local traffic to work the pattern on CTAF. If you are flying in at night or in marginal weather, check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator or the FBO directly for the latest field status.
