Fairfield Airport (5U5) is in Fairfield, Montana. The field elevation is 3,991 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 18/36 at 3,800 ft on asphalt. Runway 07/25 is 1,525 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current traffic pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. This is a high-elevation field, so expect performance to be a factor on warm days. The published remarks also matter. Runway 18/36 is under construction. Its lights are out of service indefinitely. Low-intensity lights on 18/36 are activated by CTAF. There are also noted obstructions near runway 18. Cones and irrigation activity are near the turf runway ends. Snow removal is intermittent.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on checking with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Great Falls Approach at 406-454-7555. If you are coming in at night or in marginal weather, review the current Chart Supplement and the runway status before departure.
