RWY 31

Pierre Rgnl sits in Pierre, South Dakota. The field elevation is 1,744.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 13/31 at 6,900 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to use CTAF 122.7 and UNICOM 122.95 for local traffic work.

An ILS is available for runway 31. Published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Mustang Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The airport notes birds in and around the field within 25 NM. It also says airport condition is unmonitored at night from the last arrival or departure until 0500 local, so give the runway and taxiways a careful look on late arrivals.

The field has no landing fee. Taxiway C is limited to aircraft at or below 75,000 lb. Runway 07/25 has no line of sight between the ends. That matters for self-announcing traffic. There is also a note to check special notices and aerobatic practice areas before you go. For unscheduled larger aircraft operations, the published prior permission rules apply. Call airport operations if that affects your flight.
