Laurel Muni sits in Laurel, Montana at 3,542.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 04/22 at 5,199 ft. Runways 14/32 and 04/22 are asphalt. Runway 09/27 is turf and is not maintained during winter. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. Billings Approach handles IFR work on 119.2, 120.5 and 284.6. For clearance delivery, contact Billings Approach at 406-255-2798. PAPI is available on runways 04, 22, 14 and 32. Medium intensity runway lights are on 04/22 and 14/32. They are controlled by CTAF.
This is a higher-elevation field, so performance planning matters. Expect thinner air than a lowland strip. The published remarks also call out deer and antelope on and near the runway. Winter operations need extra attention because intermediate snow removal is conducted. Runway 09/27 has marker cones along the full length. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before arrival.
