HOWE (U97) sits in Howe, Idaho at 4,930 ft MSL. This is a non-towered field with CTAF 122.9. No runways are listed in the facts block, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go for the latest runway status and any operational changes. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for the correct traffic pattern altitude before departure. The airport sits in a high-elevation area, so expect the usual performance hit on warm days. Density altitude can climb fast here.
The published remarks matter. The airport is used heavily by agricultural spraying aircraft during summer. Clearance delivery is handled through Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568. There are also reported obstructions near the runway area, including farm machinery near the approach to runway 13 and a road near the centerline of runway 31. The remarks also note marked touchdown zones on runway 13/31. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need fuel or ramp details.
