Pine Ridge Airport (KIEN) sits in Pine Ridge, South Dakota. The field elevation is 3,332.5 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 5,000 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 4,333 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Runway headings are magnetic. Runway 12 is 129°. Runway 30 is 309°.
The published remarks matter for planning. For clearance delivery, contact Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center at 303-651-4257. Runway lights on 12/30 and the PAPI on runway 30 operate from dusk to 2230. After 2230, lighting activation is by CTAF. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or call the field directly before you go. At this elevation, expect higher density altitude than a lowland strip. Takeoff and climb performance deserve a close look, especially on a warm day.
