SAND SPRINGS STRIP sits near Sand Springs, Montana. Field elevation is 3,180 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 2,400 ft of turf, so plan for a short-field surface with a rough, uneven condition and intermittent mowing. The published pattern altitude is 720 ft AGL, which is 3,900 ft MSL. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are arriving in marginal weather or at night. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any approach or local operating notes before you go. The published remarks also say animals are on and near the runway. Runway 10/28 may be soft when wet. There is no snowplowing in winter. No landing is permitted on the taxiway connected to runway 28.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to arrive self-sufficient. If you need current airport services or local handling details, contact the airport operator directly before departure. For clearance delivery, the published remark directs pilots to Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. This is a non-towered strip with a turf runway at moderate elevation, so density altitude and surface condition deserve a close look before takeoff.
