Sandpoint Airport sits in Sandpoint, Idaho. The field elevation is 2,131 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 5,501 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.
The airport has one ILS approach to runway 02. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Granite Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (208) 263-9102 for current services.
A few remarks matter here. This is a cold temperature airport, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 16 degrees Celsius. Wildlife is reported in the area. There are also published obstructions on final. One is a 23-foot railroad on the centerline 740 feet from the runway. Another is 85-foot trees on the centerline 2,650 feet out. Runway lights on 02 and 20 are CTAF-controlled. PAPI on both ends operates continuously. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. Expect a non-towered mountain-area arrival with density altitude and terrain considerations in the mix, especially when the weather is warm or the field is busy.
