Allen H Tigert Airport is in Soda Springs, Idaho. The field elevation is 5,843 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 3,500 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The on-field FBO is Allen H. Tigert Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Call (208) 547-2600 for service. The airport also lists 208-221-4494 for service calls.
This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The published remarks also flag several runway issues. Runway 16/34 has very poor markings and rough asphalt. Runway 13/31 is in poor condition with cracking, flaking asphalt and no markings. Runway 16 has no markings. The paint is gone. The rotating beacon is out of service. There are also obstructions near runway 16. A highway is close to the departure end. A tall barn or grain elevator sits left of the extended centerline. If you are new to the field, study the current Chart Supplement and plan a careful look at the runway surface before landing.
