Smith Prairie Airport (2U0) sits in Prairie, Idaho at 4,958 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, which is 5,400 ft long and surfaced turf-dirt. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 06/24 edges and thresholds are marked with white rocks. The field has no on-field FBOs listed. No telephone is available at the airport. The airport is also noted as established prior to 1959.

For clearance delivery, contact Big Sky Approach at 208-364-5860 or 208-364-5861. The published remarks also say runway 06 is the recommended landing runway. Runway 24 is the recommended takeoff runway when wind conditions permit. Runway 6 uses right traffic. Runway 24 uses left traffic to help avoid overflight of the city. There is no winter maintenance, so surface condition checks matter before arrival. At this elevation, plan for higher density altitude effects, especially on warm days. Verify current field conditions and any local procedures with the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator before you go.
