Dutton Airport sits in Dutton, Montana. Field elevation is 3,699 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,130 ft long with asphalt and turf surfaces. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The field is old. Published remarks say it was established prior to 1959. Snow removal is intermittent, so winter use deserves a close look before you go.

Runway 16/34 has some details that matter on rollout and landing. The first 2,330 by 40 ft of runway 34 is asphalt. The edges and the remainder are turf. There is a 6-foot depression 102 feet from the runway 16 end. At the 34 end, a 20-foot road crosses near the asphalt section. Nonstandard runway edge lights are offset from the centerline. From dusk to dawn, 2,750 feet of the runway is lighted.

No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services. For clearance delivery, contact Great Falls Approach at 406-454-7555. The manager phone number is 406-463-2268.
