Lincoln Airport sits in Lincoln, Montana. The field elevation is 4,602.8 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 4,240 ft long. There is no control tower. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. Approach and departure service is handled by Helena on 119.5 and 229.4. CTAF is 122.9. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Helena Approach by phone. If approach is closed, contact Salt Lake ARTCC by phone. That matters if you are filing IFR into the field.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan on bringing your own ropes. The airport has a 9-foot perimeter fence. Surface conditions are unmonitored from 1600 to 0900. Snow removal is irregular, so check current field conditions before you go. The CTAF can trigger the weather advisory. Runway 04 has PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights on 04 and 22 are also activated on CTAF. Trees are on the transition surface on both sides along the full length of the runway. Summer helicopter activity is also published in the area, so expect mixed traffic and keep your scan tight.
