Riddick Fld sits in Philipsburg, Montana. The field elevation is 5,219 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,599 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. At this elevation, density altitude will matter on warm days. Performance planning should be conservative.
Published remarks call out faded markings on both runway ends. The pavement on 16/34 has spalling. It also has major cracking and edge fractures. The beacon is unserviceable. Snow removal is intermittent. Medium intensity runway lights on 16/34 are activated by CTAF. Pilots should also bring their own ropes. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival if you need local services. This is a small mountain field with a single runway. Plan for elevation, runway condition and winter service limits before you go.
