Russian Flat Airport is in Russian Flat, Montana. The field elevation is 6,336 ft MSL. This is a non-towered airport with one runway listed. The runway is 07/25 and the longest published length is not provided in the facts. No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF is 122.9.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. For this field, that puts a typical pattern around 7,336 ft MSL. The published remarks matter here. Clearance delivery is handled through Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. The runway is marked with white turf cones at the threshold and quarter points. The FAA also notes standing water and muddy conditions after heavy rain. Wildlife and livestock can be on the runway. There is an uphill slope to the west, so plan your takeoff and landing direction with that in mind. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before you go.
