RWY 34

Rock Rapids Muni sits in Rock Rapids, Iowa. Field elevation is 1,363 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,097 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8 for airport traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 16/34 has medium intensity runway lights, runway end identifier lights and precision approach path indicators. Runway 34 is listed as the calm wind runway. That helps with planning when the wind is light or variable.

Chapin Aircraft Repair is on the field. It carries 100LL. For current fuel or service details, call them at (712) 472-3332. The published remarks also note a road near the runway ends. They also note migratory waterfowl near the movement areas. That means a careful scan on base and final is smart here. For clearance delivery, contact Sioux Falls Approach. If approach is closed, use Minneapolis ARTCC. Check current procedures before you go.
