Iowa City Muni sits in Iowa City, Iowa. Field elevation is 683.7 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 5,002 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 and expect non-towered traffic flow. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. Jet Air, Inc. is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (319) 248-1200 for current service details.
A few local items matter here. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact the airport manager at 319-356-5045 before you go if you need the current guidance. Runway 25 is the calm wind runway. The Chart Supplement also notes glider activity on and near the airport. It also notes waterfowl and deer in the area, plus a stadium within 3 NM. Watch for events. Runway 25 has a displaced-threshold approach slope note. There are also numerous unlighted cranes within 2 NM. Helicopter activity occurs about 3/4 mile north near University of Iowa Hospital. Lighting is preset low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the PAPI and runway end identifier lights on the listed runways.
