ST CLOUD SKY CENTRAL sits in St. Cloud, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,030.5 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 13/31 at 7,500 ft. Runway 05/23 is 3,000 ft. The tower is open 0700 to 2300. When the tower is closed, use the published clearance delivery backup through Flight Service or Minneapolis ARTCC if needed.
ILS approaches are available to Runways 13 and 31. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the Chart Supplement says otherwise. St. Cloud Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (320) 253-0480 if you need current ramp or fuel details.
A few operational items matter here. Runway 05/23 is not available for certain larger passenger operations. Line of sight is restricted on the 13 and 23 approach sides plus the 13 and 5 approach sides. Runway 31 is the calm wind runway. MALSR, PAPI and high intensity lighting are on 13/31. Runway 05/23 uses medium intensity lights that start low and are raised from the CTAF. Wildlife is a real factor here. Deer and migratory waterfowl are reported on and near the airport. Crop dusting also occurs in summer. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current noise or operational notes before you go.
