Mitchell Muni is in Mitchell, South Dakota. The field elevation is 1,304.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,701 ft on runway 13/31. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 31 has the ILS. That matters if you are planning an instrument arrival in lower ceilings or reduced visibility. Lighting is good for a non-towered field. MALSR is available for runway 31. REIL is available for runways 13 and 18. PAPI is available on both ends of 13/31 and on 18/36. High intensity lighting is available on 13/31. Medium intensity lighting is available on 18/36.
