Ravalli County Airport sits in Hamilton, Montana. The field elevation is 3,635.6 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 5,200 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which puts the traffic pattern at 4,435.6 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current charted procedures and weather minimums in mind. Ascension FBO is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. Ultralight activity occurs on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan in the pattern and on departure.
The published remarks also note runway use limits tied to aircraft maximum gross weight on 17/35. Aircraft over 17,000 pounds pay a landing fee. The runway lights and PAPI are pilot-controlled on CTAF. For medium intensity runway lights during daylight hours, contact the airport manager. This is a mountain valley airport with a high field elevation, so performance planning matters. Check density altitude, climb out options and current weather before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC.
