Sidney-Richland Rgnl (KSDY) sits in Sidney, Montana at 1,985.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 01/19 at 5,705 ft. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered CTAF work on 122.8. UNICOM is also 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local guidance says otherwise. Richland Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Airport services are on call 24 hours a day. Runway lighting is active on both runways. PAPI is installed on 01, 19, 11 and 29. REILs are installed on all runway ends. Lighting is controlled from the CTAF.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the waterfowl note. Flocks are reported in the area. That matters on arrival and departure. Surface conditions are unmonitored from 0400 to 1300 Zulu and beyond. If you need current airport conditions, call airport management at 406-480-1820.
