Benchmark Airport sits near Augusta, Montana. The field elevation is 5,434 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, at 6,000 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 6,434 ft MSL. The airport sits in Lewis and Clark National Forest. Mountains lie parallel east and west. The remarks also call out rising terrain beyond runway 12. Runway 12 has a 120 ft uphill rise. The runway also has large cracks and weeds along its full length. Snow removal is not available.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone if you need local services. The published remarks also note trees near both runway ends. There are 58 ft trees on the runway centerline at runway 12. There are 250 ft trees on the runway centerline at runway 30. Expect crosswind and turbulence issues in the area. Clearance delivery is handled through Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. For a first visit, treat this as a high-elevation mountain field with terrain, wind and runway condition concerns all in play.
