Ankeny Rgnl sits in Ankeny, Iowa. Field elevation is 909.9 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 5,500 ft on runway 18/36. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 36. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. That same frequency is also used as UNICOM.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or ATC gives you something different. Expect Des Moines approach support on 123.9 or 307.15. Clearance delivery is handled by Des Moines Air Traffic Control Tower on 126.65 when needed.
Exec 1 Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Call (515) 965-1020 for current services. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways. PAPI is active on runway 04/22. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 4 and runway 18/36. They operate on CTAF.
One operational item matters here. Airport manager approval is required to use preferential runway 18 when winds are less than 5 knots. Also watch the obstruction note for runway 36. There is a 47-foot tree near the taxiway end. It sits right of centerline. That makes a stabilized approach and good runway alignment important on final.
