DELL FLIGHT STRIP (4U9) sits near Dell, Montana. The field elevation is 6,007 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 7,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Medium intensity runway lights are installed on 14/32. The PAPI for runway 14 is controlled on CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
This is a high-elevation strip, so performance planning matters. Expect the thinner air at 6,007 ft MSL to affect takeoff and climb. Published remarks also note deer on and near the airport. Snow removal is irregular. The runway surface has large cracks with protruding weeds throughout, so a careful surface check is smart before landing. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the field by phone before arrival.
