Not for high performance aircraft. This is a busy uncontrolled facility underlying Class B airspace. Primarily an airport for training pilots, and there are a lot of them. First and only visit resulted in two R/As. Was cut off on short final by an aircraft entering short base from opposite the preferred pattern. From surface of airport to bottom of Class B is 1400 feet. No instrument approaches landing south.

I agree with Kerry and Jon’s comments below so I won’t repeat here. The field and surrounding airspace are hectic. Light aircraft under VFR aren’t usually allowed in the class B, meaning there’s a lot of same altitude, random direction traffic in the area below the B shelf. Parking for transient aircraft is limited and one may have to troll around to find a spot. But, the FBO staff is great - front desk and line staff were all friendly and helpful. Someone went above and beyond one windy evening, tightening and double knotting my tiedowns before the storm hit - thank you.

The FBO and its personnel are great, customer service and services are stellar! This is considered a "Reliever Airport" for KSLC, in its current use, it is not acceptable. There are now 4 flight schools on the field, with upwards of 25 aircraft, most days (weather permitting) the pattern has 4-5 and as many as 6, aircraft doing touch and goes, leaving little room for incoming traffic, transient or based on the field. When in a Turboprop or Jet you are either forced to either, blend in with traffic going 50 KTS slower or use an alternate pattern. If using runway 16, you must land using a left hand pattern on the east side of the airport, while the students are using a right hand pattern on the opposite side. On calm wind days, the students continue to use runway 16, forcing instrument traffic using the RNAV 34 approach to "Circle to Land". The number of planes doing "Touch and Goes" must be limited and alternates be found for student training.

This is a busy uncontrolled field, with a lot of student traffic. Due to proximity to SLC, IFR arrivals and especially departures are difficult. That said, it's pretty easy to get in and out. Look for the hangar with a big white FBO sign around midfield and park right in front. They moved the plane to a tie-down for me. Full and serve prices are close, and they had me fueled from the truck within minutes of my request. For light aircraft a parking fee of $15 per day applies, starting at 4 hours and regardless of fuel purchase. I had good service from Enterprise using the AOPA national reservations. Go Rentals are also available. I was able to drive out to unload. Staff was helpful and pleasant.

Flew an Angel Flight passenger in a cold, blustery, overcast day. Ground crew marshaled us in, took the fuel order, and promptly refueled the plane. Staff helped carry in the passenger's bags and assisted her when the Lyft driver came. Polite, courteous, helpful, and fair fuel price. (The FBO is located towards the south end of the field. Good signage.)

Great experience at U42! Folks with a smile met us upon our arrival. Helped me put a quart of oil in the engine. Gave me a lift to/from my hotel. Everyone was friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our time with the folks at U42!

Great support for our charter operation. Landed the Citation M2 and immediately parked, greeted and fueled. Great fuel prices and facilities. The staff was very friendly and got us on our way in less than 30 minutes. Under the Salt Lake Class B shelf. Great place to stop. Check Density Altitude.

Top notch FBO. Thanks, Jeff, for full-service help at the self-serve pumps and for a ride over to the Hampton Inn.
