The pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runways 05/23, 08/26 and 17/35 are closed during winter months because snow removal is not provided. Call ahead for winter conditions from November through March. A 35-foot power line is marked with daylight balls on the 35 approach side. Birds and deer are also reported in the area.

For airport services, the published contact number is 701-845-2100. If you need after-hours help, call 701-840-5903. The airport sits in open North Dakota terrain, so winter performance and crosswind planning deserve attention.
