RWY 31

Litchfield Muni sits in Litchfield, Minnesota. The field elevation is 1,139.9 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 4,002 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Litchfield Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours with a credit card. The airport also notes that runway 13/31 lights are preset on low intensity. Use CTAF to raise the intensity or turn on runway end identifier lights.

First-time pilots should also watch the trees northeast of runway 13/31. That obstruction is called out in the published remarks. For clearance delivery, Minneapolis ARTCC is listed as the contact. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or operating notes before you go. With no tower and one short field by airline standards, this is a straightforward local airport. Still, the elevation and the Minnesota weather can make performance planning matter on warm days.
