Ennis Big Sky Airport sits in Ennis, Montana. The field elevation is 5,432.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 7,600 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern near 6,400 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. Big Sky Approach handles clearance delivery. If you cannot reach them, Salt Lake ARTCC is the backup contact listed in the remarks. The runway lights on 16/34 are activated by CTAF. The PAPI on both runway ends operates continuously. Runways 16 and 34 also have 1,020 ft distance markers at each end.
Ascension FBO is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After-hours service and fueling are available by phone. This is a cold temperature airport, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 24 degrees Celsius. Airfield surface condition is unmonitored from 1700 to 0700. Plan extra caution if you are arriving late. The field sits in a mountain state environment with high elevation, so performance planning matters even with a long runway.
