Bozeman Yellowstone Intl is in Bozeman, Montana. The field elevation is 4,473.4 ft MSL. It has four runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 8,994 ft. The tower is open daily from 0530 to 0030. One ILS is published for runway 12.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly and verify the traffic pattern picture for your aircraft. This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Cold temperature correction is required at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius. Runway 12 has special notes too. Arrival and departure operations on 12 are authorized when wind is less than 10 knots. Expect delay if another runway is needed.
Three FBOs are on the field. Million Air carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Jet Aviation Bozeman carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport also has customs service Thursday through Monday from 1600Z to 2400Z. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Big Sky Approach. If approach is closed too, use Salt Lake ARTCC. Runway 12 uses LED approach lighting. Runway 12 and 30 lighting can be activated when the tower is closed. Student training activity is reported within 15 miles. Expect a busy pattern.
