Dutch John Airport (33U) sits in Dutch John, Utah. The field elevation is 6,561 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 6,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 7,561 ft MSL. The airport sits at high elevation, so expect reduced climb performance and a longer takeoff roll than you would see at lower fields. Deer and elk are reported on and near the airport. That matters on taxi, takeoff and landing.

Published remarks also say snow removal can be irregular. Call for field conditions before you go. Two dirt and turf runways appear in some references. They are closed and not maintained. Runway 07/25 is closed indefinitely. It is not inspected. Aircraft over 12,500 pounds maximum gross weight are prohibited. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
