Bolinder Field Tooele Valley Airport is a small, uncontrolled general aviation field west of the Oquirrh Mountains in Tooele County, Utah, notable for carrying an ILS despite its modest size. Sitting at 4,295 ft elevation with a single paved runway, it offers straightforward VFR access and an instrument approach for pilots operating in the Salt Lake City area.
Bolinder Field Tooele Valley Airport is a small public-use general aviation airfield serving Tooele, Utah. It has no scheduled airline service and no control tower, but it is unusual for a field of its size in offering an ILS approach, which makes it a useful and interesting destination for instrument-rated simulator pilots as well as those flying VFR circuits in a quiet, low-traffic environment.
The airfield lies at coordinates 40.6126, -112.351 at a field elevation of 4,295 ft, in Tooele County, Utah. It is an uncontrolled aerodrome, with traffic advisories handled on the common traffic advisory frequency rather than by a tower.
The airfield has a single physical runway, 17/35, with a hard surface and runway lighting on both ends. Runway 17 is 6,082 ft long and is equipped with an ILS; the reciprocal, Runway 35, is 5,955 ft long.
Pilots should use 124.4 MHz for approach and departure advisories in the vicinity of the field. An AWOS-3 automated weather observation is broadcast on 119.725 MHz. Traffic and unicom calls are made on 123 MHz, which serves as the CTAF. Instrument approaches available include the ILS or LOC to Runway 17 and the RNAV (GPS) approach to Runway 17, with a published circling category C minimum descent altitude of 5,100 ft (778 ft height above airport).
Bolinder Field Tooele Valley Airport remains in use as a public general aviation airfield without scheduled commercial service. It operates as an uncontrolled field, with pilots relying on the CTAF and AWOS broadcast for weather and traffic information rather than tower control.
