Thief River Falls Rgnl Airport sits in Thief River Falls, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,118.8 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 13/31 at 6,504 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
One ILS is published for runway 31. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Thief River Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours with credit card. The airport remarks also note bird activity on and near the field. Runway 31 has malfunctioning approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights active, so check lighting status before a night arrival.
For runway use, 04/22 is 4,997 ft and 13/31 is 6,504 ft. Runway 04/22 is not available for certain large scheduled passenger operations. Runway 13/31 has no weight limit noted in the remarks. This is a non-towered airport, so plan your self-announce calls carefully. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operating restrictions before you go. The field conditions are not maintained during several overnight and weekend windows, so a preflight weather and surface check matters here.
