Sheldon Rgnl Airport sits in Sheldon, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,419.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 4,199 ft long with a concrete surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. For a light piston, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 33 is the calm wind runway. Medium intensity runway lights are available on 15/33. PAPI and runway end identifier lights are available on runways 15 and 33. They are controlled by CTAF.
Midwest Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours service, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the FBO directly. If you need a clearance, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed for clearance delivery. At this elevation, pay attention to density altitude on warm days. The runway is long enough for normal GA use. You still want to plan your takeoff and landing performance with the local weather in mind.
