RWY 09

Poplar Muni sits in Poplar, Montana. The field elevation is 2,037.1 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 4,403 ft. Runway 02/20 is turf at 3,020 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 3,037 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.

Dallas Aero & Sales is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL self-service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Jet A is available on request by calling the FBO. The published remarks also say PAPI and medium intensity runway lights are on runways 09 and 27. Use CTAF for traffic calls. For current airport surface conditions, call the airport manager at 406-768-7400. Clearance delivery is handled through Salt Lake ARTCC at 801-320-2568.

This is a non-towered field with a long asphalt runway. That makes it straightforward for VFR work. You still want to brief the pattern, winds and runway lighting before arrival.
