FLYING Z RANCH
CHALLIS, ID

No instrument approaches are published, so all operations occur under visual flight rules. Arriving and departing aircraft self-announce their positions on the common traffic advisory frequency at 122.9 MHz. No fuel service is listed for the field. Prior permission from the owner is required, as this is a private-use field.
The airport sits at 6,223 feet above mean sea level. Density altitude is a significant factor at this elevation during warm weather operations.
