LORD FLAT USFS is in Imnaha, Oregon. The field elevation is 5,594 ft MSL. No tower is listed, so plan on self-announce operations on CTAF 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The airport is charted at the owner’s request. Published remarks also note painted boulders at the ends of runway 01 and runway 19.

The runway details in the facts block are limited. No runways are listed there, so verify the current runway layout and surface condition with the current FAA Chart Supplement or the airport operator before you go. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, density altitude will matter on warm days. Expect longer takeoff rolls and reduced climb performance. This is also a remote field, so plan fuel and alternates carefully. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts block. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need current services.
