Friedman Meml Airport sits in Hailey, Idaho. The field elevation is 5,319.5 ft MSL. KSUN has one runway, 13/31, which is 7,550 ft long. The control tower is open from 0700 to 2300 local. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (208) 788-9511 for current services and transient parking. The airport also notes a landing fee for aircraft over 6,000 lb.
This is a mountain airport. The published remarks say night use and marginal weather operations are not recommended. The field also asks pilots to fly quiet. Depart south and arrive north when practical. Use landing lights. When the tower is closed, runway 13/31 lighting is activated on CTAF. The PAPI for runway 31 runs continuously. If you are new to the airport, pay close attention to the valley routing. Approach runway 31 along the east side of the valley. Depart runway 13 along the west side of the valley. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
