Fort Smith Landing Strip is in Fort Smith, Montana. The field elevation is 3,242 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts provided, so verify the current runway status before planning a landing. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for the published traffic pattern information before you go. The airport sits in a high-elevation area, so density altitude will matter on warm days. Expect performance to change fast with temperature and weight.
The published remarks point to several operational items. There are multiple powerlines near the airport. Wildlife is also reported on and near the field. The runway surface remarks describe cracking, raveling, edge erosion and failing crack seal with vegetation growth. Other remarks mention faded runway numbers and centerlines. Displaced markings on Runway 25 are also noted. There are ditch and fence obstructions near both ends of the runway area. If you are planning to operate here, get the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for the latest field condition and access details.
