Total runways: 1
Longest runway: 16/34 · 2,300 ft

PINE (1U9) sits in Idaho at 4,232 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 2,300 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. The field sits in a mountain environment with a 17° magnetic variation. That matters for planning. Density altitude can be a factor at this elevation, especially on warm days. The runway also has a sideslope, with the surface downhill from west to east. There is no line of sight between the runway ends.

Published remarks call out several obstructions near runway 16. A timbered ridge sits on centerline beyond the approach end. Trees are also noted left and right of centerline. The FAA also says no winter maintenance is provided. For clearance delivery, contact Big Sky Approach at the numbers listed in the Chart Supplement. The remarks recommend landing runway 34 and taking off runway 16 when wind conditions permit. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services before you go.
