Bridger Muni (6S1) is in Bridger, Montana. The field elevation is 3,720 ft MSL. This is a small, non-towered airport with no published runways listed in the facts block, so verify the current runway layout and usable lengths before you go. No ILS approaches are published here. The CTAF is 122.9.

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. Deer and waterfowl are reported on and near the airport. That matters here. Plan for wildlife on taxi, takeoff and landing.

Published remarks also note low-intensity runway lights on 16/34. Runway 34 has a displaced threshold for night use. The remarks also call out obstructions near both runway ends. Runway 34 has a 3 percent uphill grade. Runway 16 has a relocated threshold for night operations only. Clearance delivery is handled through Billings Approach. Contact the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest details before arrival. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts, so confirm fuel and services directly before you launch.
