The runway rises at a 3% grade from SE to NW with a 5% grade the last 1,000 feet on the NE end. The runway is asphalted the first 4,000 x 48 feet from the NW end also providing a 2,700ft. graded, dirt overrun at departure for additional takeoff margin. Landings are not recommended on runway 13 due to the descending grade and high terrain on approach. Instead we strongly suggest considering landings on the rising grade of runway 31 where the 4,000 feet of asphalt begins. Takeoffs are recommended for runway 13 straight out and should NOT be attempted if any aircraft are in the pattern. Takeoffs on runway 31 are strongly discouraged due to rising terrain to the NW. All pilots should familiarize themselves with the runway before landing and determine their own limitations and aircraft performance prior to determining if go arounds are prudent. Good radio communication is strongly recommended. Aircraft operations are not permitted without a radio. Be cautious for deer, elk, moose and other wildlife. Finally, pilots should not depend on the recommendations herein for the final decisions on aircraft operations.

Before planning a trip to the Airpark, please check the Development Activities for any work that might affect your arrival or departure.

Caution: The airpark is situated in a high mountain environment and may be subject to high density altitude conditions. We recommend you schedule your takeoff and landing times accordingly.
