If you need clearance delivery and cannot use the ground communications outlet, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway has medium intensity lights. PAPI is installed for runways 15 and 33. Fuel remarks say to call 605-204-0565 or 605-204-0730 for 100LL. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so verify fuel and service details before you go.

For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered pattern, the single runway layout and the lack of published ILS. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or local operating notes before flying in.
