Thomas Creek Airport (2U8) sits near Stanley, Idaho at 4,415 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 2,100 ft long with a turf-dirt surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 5,415 ft MSL. The field sits on a plateau 100 to 150 feet above the river. That matters on arrival and departure. The published remarks also call out numerous tall trees along the river on final to runway 21. Runway 03 has a dog leg for the first 400 feet with a heading of 360 degrees. A 100-foot ridge sits 250 feet on the centerline at the runway 03 end. Go-around is described as extremely difficult. No winter maintenance is provided.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. Mid to late summer can bring considerable air taxi traffic. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. Aircraft loading and unloading occurs at the south end of runway 21. Plan this field with care. It is a short turf strip at elevation with terrain and obstacle issues on both ends.
