KMSO is in Missoula, Montana. Field elevation is 3,205.6 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 12/30 at 9,501 ft. Runway 08/26 is listed in the field data. It is closed permanently. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2200. One ILS approach is published for runway 12.

On the field, Minuteman Jet Center and Northstar Jet both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a stop in a larger aircraft, note the landing fee applies to all commercial aircraft. It also applies to aircraft over 9,000 lb. Taxiway G between the 08 end and runway 12/30 is restricted to aircraft under 12,500 lb. The airport also notes year-round bird activity. Perching near the field is also listed. Hang glider and paraglider activity is noted 5.5 NM east of runway 30. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 11 °C. If you are flying a heavy airplane, watch the 180-degree turn restriction for aircraft over 12,500 lb on movement areas. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
