Denton Airport (5U0) sits in Denton, Montana. The field elevation is 3,594 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,550 ft of turf. The runway headings are 91° and 271° magnetic. 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 pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 4,594 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current fuel and service availability. Published remarks note waterfowl and migratory birds near the sewage lagoons just north of the runway 27 threshold. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and on the approach to 27. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. At this elevation, expect a higher true airspeed for a given indicated speed. Turf also means surface condition matters. Check the runway condition before you commit.
