Richardton Airport sits in Richardton, North Dakota. The field elevation is 2,498 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 3,822 ft of turf, so plan for a soft-field stop and takeoff profile. No tower is on site. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 3,498 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you fly. The published remarks matter here. The runway surface is described as clumpy and extremely rough. Dirt mounds are present. Cultivated fields sit at the runway ends and along the sides. Cattle may graze on the runway in September and October, so check NOTAMs before departure.
This is a prior-permission field. Call Jody Hoff at 701-290-4335 at least 24 hours ahead. There is no snow removal available in winter. The access road is an unimproved trail and can be impassable when wet. No on-field FBOs are listed. For clearance delivery, contact Minneapolis ARTCC at 651-463-5588. Pilots should treat this as a rough turf strip with limited support and plan accordingly.
