Bedford Muni sits in Bedford, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,201 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the provided facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published remarks matter at this field. The airport was built before 1958. There is a sharp drop at both ends of runway 18/36. Runways 18 and 36 are marked with yellow cones. No snow removal is provided. The airport is closed when snow conditions exist. That makes winter planning important here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. With field elevation at 1,201 ft MSL, that puts a typical light-aircraft pattern near 2,201 ft MSL. Verify before flight if you need exact traffic pattern guidance. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. For after-hours contact, call the manager at 712-523-2385. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588.
