Roseau Muni/Rudy Billberg Fld (KROX) sits in Roseau, Minnesota. Field elevation is 1,060.3 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 16/34 at 4,400 ft. Runway 06/24 is turf at 2,097 ft. 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 the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Roseau Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours a day by credit card.

A few operational items matter here. Runway 06/24 is closed during winter months. Runway 16 has seasonal obstructions. Runway 34 has nonstandard REIL behavior. The published lighting notes also say the MIRL on 16/34 is pilot-controlled through CTAF, with low intensity preset. PAPI is available on 16 and 34. For clearance delivery issues, the published remarks direct pilots to Minneapolis ARTCC if Flight Service cannot be reached. This is a small non-towered field, so plan your radio work and runway choice with the seasonal runway status and lighting notes in mind.
