RWY 34

Rosebud Sioux Tribal Airport is in Rosebud, South Dakota. Field elevation is 2,724 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 4,801 ft long with a concrete surface. No tower is published here, so plan to use CTAF 122.9 for traffic calls and runway lighting control. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks say PAPI is active on runways 16 and 34. Medium intensity runway lights are also available on both ends and are controlled by CTAF. That helps for night work, but you still need to verify the current lighting procedure before departure.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current FBO availability. For clearance delivery, the published contact is Denver Air Route Traffic Control Center. At 2,724 ft MSL, expect a little more density altitude effect than a low-elevation strip, especially on warm days. First-time pilots should also check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local operating notes before flying in.
