ELGIN MUNI sits in Elgin, North Dakota. Field elevation is 2,355 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 2,842 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field performance and a careful surface check before landing. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks matter here. Runway 12/30 is described as clumpy and rough with dirt mounds present. Runway 30 also has a 10 ft dropoff 100 ft beyond the threshold. There is no line of sight between the runway ends in the center section at low height, so keep that in mind when taxiing and when you are checking for traffic.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. If you need services, call the airport operator or the field directly before arrival. Snow removal is by request only in winter months. The airport authority chairman’s home phone is listed in the Chart Supplement remarks. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC. This is a non-towered turf strip at moderate elevation, so expect density altitude to matter on warm days.
