Orofino Muni is in Orofino, Idaho. Field elevation is 1,004.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 2,520 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in high mountainous timbered terrain in all quadrants. That matters at night and in lower visibility. Published remarks also call out a road near the threshold of runway 26. They also note a fence near the threshold of runway 08. Two 250 ft towers sit about 1 mile east of the field. Runway 08/26 has medium intensity lights that are activated by CTAF.

Orofino Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. If you are new to the airport, plan for the terrain, the short runway and the published obstructions near both ends. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight for any updates.
