Owyhee Airport (10U) sits in Owyhee, Nevada. The field elevation is 5,377.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 4,700 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is in a high-elevation part of Nevada, so performance planning matters. Expect thinner air and longer takeoff rolls than you would see at lower fields.
Published remarks note runway end identifier lights on both ends of 05/23. PAPI is installed on both runway ends. The runway lights are medium intensity and are controlled on CTAF. Bird activity is reported in the area. Runway 23 has a PAPI limitation beyond 3.25 NM because of terrain. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so call the airport operator directly or contact the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. Tie-down chains are not provided.
