RWY 34

Leadore Airport sits in Leadore, Idaho at 6,029 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 3,500 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 7,029 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport sits in high country, so expect performance to change with density altitude. Plan your takeoff and landing distances with that in mind.

Runway 11/29 is gravel and dirt. The first 2,300 ft of runway 11 is gravel. The rest is dirt. Runway 16/34 is turf and is marked by white cement boundary markers. Published remarks say the runway surface has improved and is in fair condition. Runway 11/29 lights are inoperative indefinitely. There are obstructions in the approach paths. Use caution on both ends. Three-foot sagebrush is next to the runway edges. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before arrival.
