Boundary County Airport sits in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. Field elevation is 2,337.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 02/20, which is 4,002 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Northern Air is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Call (208) 267-4359 for current fuel and ramp details.
This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 6 degrees Celsius. That matters here because the field already sits above 2,300 ft MSL. Trees are also published near both runway ends. Expect to pay attention to departure and landing performance, especially on shorter winter days or when density altitude climbs. Runway lights on 02/20 are medium intensity and are activated by CTAF. The PAPI for runway 02 operates continuously. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694.
