Red Lodge Airport (KRED) has 1 runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,000 ft long and 75 ft wide. The surface is asphalt. The field elevation is 5,762 ft MSL.
No control tower is listed. No ILS runway ends are published. The runway headings are 177° and 357° magnetic. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. For runway 16 arrivals, pilots are requested to fly downwind at traffic pattern altitude over the bluff east of downtown. When safe and practical, use a high angle final approach slope. 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.

Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC or local procedures say otherwise. The field elevation is 5,762 ft MSL, so that puts a typical light-aircraft pattern near 6,762 ft MSL. No tower is listed, so pilots should self-announce and sequence with other traffic. Noise abatement is the main pattern issue here. For runway 16 arrivals, fly downwind at traffic pattern altitude over the bluff east of downtown. For runway 34 arrivals, fly downwind west of the residential area west. For runway 34 departures, turn upwind to the west of the residential area north of the airport as soon as safe and practical. Crosswind grass strips are also mentioned. Standard traffic patterns at traffic pattern altitude are requested to reduce impact on downtown and nearby homes.
