Denison Muni is in Denison, Iowa. The field elevation is 1,274.3 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 5,000 ft of concrete. Runway 18/36 is 3,200 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard light piston pattern planning unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in the low plains of western Iowa, so wind and surface conditions matter more than terrain. Runway 30 is the calm wind runway. Runway 18/36 is closed from November through April. The 18/36 thresholds and sides are marked with yellow cones. That runway also has a rough surface.
Denison Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For fuel or after 1700, call the airport manager or the posted cell number before you go. Lighting on 12/30 is preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to raise intensity and activate the PAPI and runway end identifier lights for 12 and 30. Watch for wildlife in the area. There is also a brush obstruction near the approach end of runway 30, so plan your landing and departure with that in mind.
