Augusta Airport (3U5) sits in Augusta, Montana. The field elevation is 4,145 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 3,650 ft long and surfaced with turf. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 5,145 ft MSL. The runway is marked with white cones at both ends. Published remarks also note gopher holes on the runway surface. That makes a careful walk-around and a good look at the turf smart before landing.
Wildlife is present on and near the airport. Rattlesnakes are specifically mentioned. There is also a shooting range adjacent to the field. No snow removal is provided. Vehicle access is unlimited. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. At this elevation, expect mountain-field performance to matter on warm days. Check density altitude before departure.
