Mason City Muni is in Mason City, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,213.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 6,501 ft. There is no control tower, so traffic stays on CTAF 123.0. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 2,013.4 ft MSL.
The airport has one ILS approach. It serves runway 36. North Iowa Air Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Bird activity is reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure. The published remarks also warn that runway and taxiway end elevation differences can block line of sight between aircraft on opposite ends. That matters here because everyone is working the common traffic advisory frequency.
Runway 18 has high intensity lighting. Runway 12/30 has medium intensity lighting. Runway 18 has a medium intensity approach lighting system. Runway 36 has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights. PAPI is published on runways 12, 30 and 36. For a first-time arrival, plan for an uncontrolled field with active lighting options. One ILS is available. A calm wind runway on 30 may be useful. If you need after-hours service or fuel, prior permission is required.
