Bowman Fld is in Anaconda, Montana. The field elevation is 5,034.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 6,010 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is unattended. Conditions are unmonitored from 1700 to 0800. That matters in mountain country where density altitude, runway performance and night planning all deserve extra attention. There is also an unlighted hazardous stack 585 ft AGL located 3.2 NM southwest of the airport.
PAPI is available on runways 04, 17, 22 and 35. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways. They are controlled by CTAF. The rotating beacon sits midway on runway 04/22 and is offset 700 ft southeast of the centerline. AWOS is on 124.175 MHz and by phone at 406-563-8275. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 25 degrees Celsius.
