RWY 19

Murphy Hot Springs Airport (3U0) sits near Three Creek, Idaho. The field elevation is 5,829 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 5,250 ft of turf. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at 6,829 ft MSL. The airport remarks matter here. Runway 19 is the recommended landing runway. Depart runway 01 when wind conditions permit. The runway can be soft in spring and when wet, especially the first 2,000 ft of runway 19. There is no winter maintenance. There is also no telephone at the airport.

Runway ends are marked with white rock. Yellow and black fence panels mark the approaches to both ends. There is no line of sight between runway ends, so plan your traffic calls carefully. The field is high enough that density altitude can be a real factor in warm weather. No on-field FBOs are listed. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
