Montevideo-Chippewa County Airport (KMVE) sits in Montevideo, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,034 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 14/32 at 3,999 ft asphalt. Runway 03/21 is 2,361 ft turf.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current charted procedures in mind. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Montevideo-Chippewa County Airport. It carries 100LL. Fuel is self-serve 24 hours with credit card. The published remarks also note that runway 03/21 thresholds and edges are marked with yellow cones. Runway 03/21 is not plowed during winter months.
This is a non-towered field with ultralight activity on and near the airport. Expect normal see-and-avoid discipline on CTAF. Medium intensity runway lights are preset to low from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the runway end identifier lights on 14/32 plus the PAPI on 14/32. For clearance delivery, if Flight Service cannot be reached, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed as the backup contact. The airport is owned by Montevideo and Chippewa County.
