S59 is the airport for Libby, Montana. The field elevation is 2,605.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33 and the longest runway is 5,003 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Lincoln County is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (406) 291-6650 for current service details.
The published remarks matter here. There is a 3 to 6 foot berm near the threshold on runway 15, 71 feet right of centerline. Trees in the primary surface also make the approach slope less than 1 to 1. Runway end identifier lights are on both ends. PAPI is published for runways 15 and 33. Medium intensity runway lighting is on runway 15/33 and is controlled by CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. This is a mountain field at moderate elevation, so plan for performance and terrain with care. Check the current Chart Supplement before departure for any changes or local procedures.
