RWY 33

Choteau Airport sits in Choteau, Montana. Field elevation is 3,946.6 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 15/33 at 5,000 ft. Runway 05/23 is 3,699 ft. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic flow on CTAF 122.8. UNICOM is also 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal traffic pattern near 4,946.6 ft MSL. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled on both runways. PAPI is listed for 05, 23, 15 and 33. That helps at night or in marginal light.

Choteau Airport has one on-field FBO. Choteau Airport carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available self-serve 24 hours a day. Jet A full service is available by call out after hours. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. With the field sitting near 4,000 ft MSL, plan for mountain-airport performance and density altitude. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local remarks before departure.
