Fairview (5U6) sits in Fairview, Montana. The field elevation is 2,152 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 3,000 ft long and turf. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern at 3,152 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway headings are magnetic. Runway 08 is 94° magnetic. Runway 26 is 274° magnetic.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify services before you go. Published remarks call out a steep drop off on both sides in the middle of the runway and around the taxiway. That makes surface condition and rollout discipline important. The thresholds and runway edges are marked with white cones spaced 200 ft apart. There is also an uncharted tower 1,350 ft north of the Runway 26 threshold. For airport conditions or snow removal, contact the airport manager. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. First-time pilots should brief the turf surface, the terrain around the runway and the lack of published instrument approach support before arrival.
