Monticello Rgnl Airport (KMXO) sits in Monticello, Iowa at 833.3 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 15/33 at 4,400 ft. Runway 09/27 is 2,300 ft turf. The field is non-towered, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,833 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway 33 is the calm wind runway. Runway 09/27 is closed from December 1 through April 1, so winter planning matters here.
Monticello Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Twenty-four hour self-serve fuel is available for 100LL. Runway 15/33 has medium intensity lights. REILs and PAPI are on runways 15 and 33. The airport is unattended on major holidays. For after-hours service, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the airport operator. If you need clearance delivery, contact Chicago ARTCC. Watch the approach and transitional surfaces. The published remarks call for clear approaches and clear transitional surfaces, so keep that in mind when planning arrivals and departures.
