RWY 27

Stanton Airfield is in Stanton, Minnesota. The field elevation is 920 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 2,582 ft. There is no control tower, so plan for self-announce operations on CTAF 122.8. Pattern altitude is 400 ft AGL, which is 1,320 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival or a low-ceiling departure. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach and airport data before you go.

Stanton Sport Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and UL94. For service after hours, call the airport manager. The airport is not plowed during winter months, so turf conditions can change fast after snow or thaw. Runway 09, runway 27, runway 18 and runway 36 are marked with yellow cones. Published remarks also note a displaced threshold on runway 36 with a 20 to 1 approach slope. Glider operations occur on and near the airport during daylight hours on weekends except winter months. That is worth keeping in mind when you are joining the pattern or planning a departure.
