WEATHERBY USFS (52U) sits near Atlanta, Idaho in North River Canyon. Field elevation is 4,503 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 2,200 ft long with a turf-dirt surface. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 5,503 ft MSL. The field is in terrain that can make the air rough. Published remarks call out local turbulence from the canyon. There are also 2-foot ditches parallel to both sides of the runway. Thresholds and edges on 03 and 21 are marked with painted rocks.
For a first-time arrival, plan for the elevation and the terrain. The airport is at high density altitude country. The published remarks also recommend landing runway 03 and taking off runway 21 when wind allows. No winter maintenance is provided. No telephone is available at the airport. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify current services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
