Storm Lake Muni sits in Storm Lake, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,487.9 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 17/35 at 5,002 ft. This is an untowered airport, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.7. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Bart's Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (712) 732-6494 if you need current service details. The airport remarks also note that runway 35 is the calm wind runway. Runway 17 and runway 35 have medium intensity lights. REILs are on those two runways. PAPI is listed as operating continuously on 17 and 35. Runway 06/24 is a turf strip. It is marked with yellow cones and is closed in the winter months from November through March.
The airport sits at a higher field elevation for the region. That means performance planning matters on warm days. Check density altitude before departure. Runway 13 has a displaced threshold note in the remarks. Clearance delivery for IFR work goes through Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. For any current operational detail, verify with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
