Deer Lodge-City-County Airport sits in Deer Lodge, Montana. Field elevation is 4,692.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 5,800 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 22 degrees Celsius. That matters here because the airport already sits high enough to affect performance on warm days.
Published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 13/31. PAPI is available on both runway ends. Runway 13/31 is extended at the southeast end. There are 28-foot trees 250 feet left of the runway centerline extended from runway 31. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and on any low approach to 31. No on-field FBOs are listed. Call the airport operator directly before arrival if you need services. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. The published remarks list 406-846-3825, 406-490-0297 and 406-490-3071 for manager contact.
