St Ignatius Airport sits in St Ignatius, Montana. The field elevation is 3,006 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, at 2,610 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 for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 4,006 ft MSL. The on-field FBO is St. Ignatius Airport. It carries 100LL. Call ahead at (406) 745-4008 if you need current field details.
A few published remarks matter here. Runway 08 has nonstandard markings. Low intensity runway lights are activated on 08/26 and controlled by CTAF. Night use is not full-length on the runway. The published lighting note says 2,270 ft is lighted at night, with the remaining portions unlighted. There are also obstructions near both ends of runway 26. Birds are reported in the vicinity of the runway. Snow removal is conducted. The field is in a mountain state setting with a 3,006 ft elevation, so performance planning matters on warm days and when density altitude runs up.
