Liberty County Airport is in Chester, Montana. The field elevation is 3,184.8 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 4,607 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 3,984.8 ft MSL. That matters here because the airport sits high enough that density altitude can be a real factor on warm days. The asphalt runway is the main option for most arrivals. Runway 16/34 is turf and is marked with white cones for the full length. Published remarks also call out numerous gopher holes on runway 16/34, so check the surface before using it. A supplemental windcone is northeast of the runway 07 threshold. PAPI is activated on runway 25. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 07/25 and are controlled by CTAF.

Ag Air is on the field. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available by appointment only. Deer and antelope are in the area, so plan for wildlife on taxi and takeoff. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. If you need current operational detail before you go, call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
