Richey Airport sits in Richey, Montana at 2,494 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 2,690 ft long with a turf-dirt surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local conditions or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 3,494 ft MSL. Check the surface before you commit. The published remarks call out an irregular surface near the Runway 14 threshold. They also note gopher holes. No snow removal is provided, so winter use needs extra caution.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to arrive self-sufficient. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. A cell tower sits east of the airport on top of a bluff. That is worth keeping in mind on approach and departure. This is a small, non-towered strip with a short turf-dirt runway. It fits light aircraft best. Verify current field conditions before you go.
