Sac City Muni sits in Sac City, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,249.5 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 4,100 ft on runway 18/36. 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 a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 36 is the calm wind runway. Medium intensity runway lights are available on both runways. PAPI is installed on 14, 18, 32 and 36. REIL is installed on runway 36 and is controlled by CTAF.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so call the airport operator or the field directly before arrival if you need current fuel or service details. Clearance delivery is handled through Minneapolis ARTCC. One operational note matters here. There are line of sight problems between runway 36 and runway 14/32. Keep that in mind when you are moving on the ground or coordinating traffic. The airport also sits at a moderate elevation for the region, so performance planning should still be part of your brief.
