KRASSEL USFS (24K) is in Mc Call, Idaho. The field elevation is 3,982 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 1,500 ft of turf, which makes this a short backcountry-style strip with real terrain and surface issues to think about before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local conditions say otherwise. The published remarks matter here. The runway may not be mowed to full width. The surface is rough from rodent holes and activity. Trees on both sides run about 80 to 120 ft tall. There is also a 300 ft ridge about 3,600 ft along the centerline of runway 35. The remarks also say to land on runway 17 and take off from runway 35 when wind conditions permit.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to self-brief carefully before arrival. Summer helicopter activity is heavy. Clearance delivery is handled through Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. If you are new to the field, treat this as a high-caution arrival and verify current conditions with the airport operator before you launch.
