RWY 28R

Boise Air Trml/Gowen Fld sits in Boise, Idaho at 2,871.7 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 10,000 ft. The field is towered. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 10R and 28R.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current Chart Supplement before you go. Boise Approach and Class C services are on 119.6. Ground is 121.7. D-ATIS is 123.9. The airport also carries a busy mix of commercial, military and transient traffic. Expect that to matter on the radio and on the taxiways.

On field FBOs are Western Aircraft, Jackson Jet Center and Turbo Air. All three carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Commercial ramp parking requires coordination with ground before pushback. Bird activity is listed within 5 NM from October through March. That matters here because the airport also has published military bird activity restrictions in the colder months. If you are planning a late arrival, note that arrivals and departures from 2200 to 0700 require prior permission because of locked gates. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the FBO directly for anything tied to ramp access, customs, or overnight handling.
