Lemhi County Airport sits near Salmon, Idaho. The field elevation is 4,044.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 5,510 ft long. 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 operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 12 degrees Celsius. Runway 17/35 has medium intensity lighting. Runway end identifier lights are installed on both ends. A PAPI is on runway 17. Use CTAF for lighting.
Three on-field FBOs are listed. Lemhi County Airport, McCall Aviation and Gem Air are all on the field. They carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The southeast ramp access is closed. There are retroreflective markers on the parallel taxiway and ramp area. Runway 35 has a mountain about 1,000 ft above airport elevation three miles out. Plan your departure and arrival with terrain in mind. Night ops use right traffic on runway 17/35 only.
