Marshalltown Muni (KMIW) sits in Marshalltown, Iowa. Field elevation is 974.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 5,007 ft. Runway 18/36 is 2,759 ft.

This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. For clearance delivery, contact Des Moines Approach on 120.9. When Des Moines Approach is closed, clearance delivery goes through Minneapolis ARTCC. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston traffic should plan for the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Marshalltown Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Medium intensity runway lights are available on both runways. Runways 13 and 31 also have runway end identifier lights and visual approach slope indicators on CTAF. One operational item to watch is crops near the runway 13 end. That matters on short final and during go-arounds. If you need after-hours help, the published airport attendant number is in the remarks. First-time visitors should brief the non-towered pattern, confirm the runway lighting setup and check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before departure.
