RWY 04

Shenandoah Muni sits in Shenandoah, Iowa. Field elevation is 971.1 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 5,000 ft on runway 04/22. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Omaha Approach handles approach and departure services on 124.5 and 263.0. Clearance delivery is also handled through Omaha Approach. Runway 22 is the calm wind runway. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 04/22. PAPI is available on runways 04 and 22. VASI is available on runway 30. REILs are on runways 04 and 22.

The on-field FBO is Shenandoah Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. After hours, call the attendant number in the Chart Supplement or the airport directly. First-time visitors should pay attention to the published obstacle notes near the runway ends. Runway 04 has a tree close to the departure end. Runway 22 has a tree close to the departure end too. Runway 12 also has an access road near the end on centerline. This is a non-towered field, so standard CTAF discipline matters.
