Hinsdale Airport (6U5) sits in Hinsdale, Montana at 2,220 ft MSL. It has three turf runways. The longest is 2,200 ft on runway 07/25. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern about 3,220 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The field is rural and the published remarks matter. Hay bales and farm equipment are near the runway. The turf can be soft when wet. Runway 10/28 and runway 07/25 are marked with white cones along the full length. Runway 16 has a marked power line. Runway 34 has a 4-foot fence 10 feet from the runway end.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan self-sufficiency. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. With three short turf strips, this is a place to brief the surface condition, obstacle picture and your go-around plan before you turn final.
