RWY 04

Magic Reservoir (U93) sits near Hailey, Idaho at 4,844 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 4,000 ft on runway 04/22. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a high-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The airport sits in mountain country. Expect density altitude to be a real factor in warm weather. Runway 10/28 is turf-dirt and is noted as slightly rough because of clump grass. Runway 04/22 is turf-grvl. Published remarks also call out obstacles on multiple approaches. Runway 04 has a fence and road close in on final. Runway 22 has trees and buildings on approach. Runway 28 also has trees and a building on approach. The Chart Supplement also notes that runway 10/28 has no line of sight between runway ends.

There are no on-field FBOs listed, so plan on self-sufficiency. No winter maintenance is provided. The airport remarks say that when wind allows, runway 04 or 10 is preferred for landing. Runway 22 or 28 is preferred for departure to avoid flying over the resort area. There is no telephone at the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.
