Cascade Airport sits in Cascade, Idaho at 4,748 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12/30, which is 4,300 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts you at about 5,748 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify the current published traffic pattern before you fly. Arnold Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (208) 382-4844 for current service details.

The published remarks matter here. To keep traffic away from town when wind allows, land runway 30 and depart runway 12. Runway 12 also has a timbered ridge about 1.25 miles out on the centerline. The airport uses medium intensity runway lights and windsock lights, both activated on CTAF. Retroreflective markers are installed on the taxiways and ramp edges. At this elevation, performance planning matters. Expect higher density altitude effects, especially on warm days. Check the current Chart Supplement and the airport operator for any updates before you go.
