RWY 02

Midway (U37) is in Atomic City, Idaho. The field elevation is 5,017 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20 and the longest runway is 3,800 ft. The airport is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use 6,017 ft MSL as the standard 1,000 ft AGL reference for light piston traffic. Then verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The runway surface is gravel. The first 1,500 ft of runway 02 is dirt mixed with crushed red lava rock. The rest is gravel. White rocks mark the runway edges and thresholds. There is sagebrush over 8 ft high on final to runway 20. Sagebrush over 5 ft high lines both runway edges.

No on-field FBOs are listed. No winter maintenance is provided. That matters here. Expect a rougher surface in cold weather and plan for the lack of runway clearing. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. This is a high-elevation strip with a gravel surface. Density altitude will matter. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator or the field directly before arrival if you need current operational details.
