Shelby Airport is in Shelby, Montana. The field elevation is 3,442.9 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,005 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Larson Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. For after-hours fuel, the published remarks list phone numbers to call. Self-serve credit card fuel is available for 100LL and Jet A+. The remarks also note that runway 05 and 23 have active PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights are published for both runways and are controlled by CTAF.
This is a high-elevation airport, so performance planning matters. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Taxiway edges are marked with reflectors. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures or restrictions before you go.
