Bismarck Muni sits in Bismarck, North Dakota. The field elevation is 1,661.3 ft MSL. It has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 13/31 at 8,794 ft. The airport is towered. Tower hours are 0600 to 2400. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 13 and 31.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a busy controlled environment. Get the current airspace picture before you go. The published remarks also note deer, coyotes and birds on and near the field. That matters on departure and on short final.
On-field FBOs are Bismarck Aero Center and Executive Air Taxi Corporation. Both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks say fuel requests should go to either FBO by phone. They also note prior permission is required 24 hours ahead for certain arrangements. When the tower is closed, the runway lights are preset to medium intensity. PAPI is available on both runways. The approach lighting setup on 13 and 31 is also published, so review the current Chart Supplement before a night arrival or a low-vis arrival.
