Pocahontas Muni is in Pocahontas, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,225.5 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 12/30 at 4,100 ft of asphalt. Runway 18/36 is 1,999 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 12 and 30 have runway end identifier lights, precision approach path indicators and medium intensity runway lights. Runway 30 is the calm wind runway. That is the runway to expect when winds are light.
