Frank Wiley Fld sits in Miles City, Montana. The field elevation is 2,634.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 5,764 ft. Runway 13/31 is 5,624 ft.
This is an untowered airport. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport is under the local magnetic variation of 9°.
Frank Wiley Field is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. After-hours 100LL fuel service is available by phone. The published remarks also note training activity within 15 NM. Birds are in the area. The airport condition is unmonitored, so check in with the airport manager if you need current field status. Lighting is available on both runways. REILs are active on 04, 13, 22 and 31. PAPI is also available on all runway ends. Medium intensity runway lights are available on both runways. All lighting is controlled on CTAF.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the lack of tower service, the training traffic and the need to verify current field condition before you go. If you need any clearance delivery help, the published remarks direct pilots to Flight Service first. If that is not available, contact Salt Lake Center.
