Parma Airport (50S) sits in Parma, Idaho. The field elevation is 2,228 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 2,700 ft asphalt, so this is a short local field rather than a place to plan on extra margin. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 30 is the preferred landing runway when wind allows. Runway 12 is the takeoff runway when conditions permit. Runway 12 also has several approach obstructions, including warehouse buildings, power lines and trees. There is also a 3-foot fence near the runway end on the 30 side. That makes a careful look at winds, approach path and takeoff performance important before you go.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before arrival. For clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement directs pilots to Big Sky Approach at 208-364-5860 or 208-364-5861. If you are planning a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement for any updated local procedures before you depart.
