Wilsall Airport (9U1) sits in Wilsall, Montana. The field elevation is 5,140 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is a 3,100 ft turf strip with magnetic headings of 5° and 185°. No tower is published here. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a high-elevation turf field, so expect performance to matter. The published remarks also call out soft conditions when wet, no snow removal, wildlife in the area. They also note gopher or badger holes along the runway. White cones mark the runway and threshold along the full length.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. For clearance delivery, contact Big Sky Approach at 208-364-5860 or 208-364-5861. If that is not available, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. The runway has fences parallel to both sides, close in on the field. Plan a careful inspection and a conservative go-around decision if the surface looks rough or wet.
