For runway 34 departures, maneuver on upwind to the west of the residential area north of the airport as soon as safe and practical. For runway 34 arrivals, fly downwind west of the residential area west. Crosswind grass strips are available; limit operations to and from crosswind grass strips and fly standard traffic patterns at traffic pattern altitude to minimize impacts upon the city downtown and residential areas immediately east of the airport.Show FAA

Red Lodge Airport sits in Red Lodge, Montana. The field elevation is 5,762 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,000 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Ray Judd Petroleum is on the field. It carries 100LL. 100LL is also available 24 hours by credit card. The runway lighting for 16/34 is controlled by CTAF. A VASI is available for runway 16.
This is a high-elevation field, so density altitude can matter a lot on warm days. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Published remarks also say runway condition is unmonitored, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement or contact the airport manager before you go. Noise abatement is in effect. For runway 16 arrivals, plan to stay downwind at traffic pattern altitude over the bluff east of downtown when safe and practical. For runway 34 departures, move west of the residential area north of the airport as soon as practical. Runway 16 and 34 markings are faded. Some portions of runway 16 markings are missing. There is also edge cracking, erosion and loose gravel on the runway surface.
