RWY 09

Vernonia Muni sits in Vernonia, Oregon at 650 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 2,940 ft of turf, so plan for short-field performance and soft-field technique. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published for the field.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 1,650 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. The airport is a small public-use strip with no on-field FBOs listed. Verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.

The published remarks matter here. Runway 27 has multiple obstructions within 1,000 ft. A curved approach from the southeast is recommended. There is also a 10-foot road close to the runway 27 end. The runway 09 end has a 4-foot fence marked by orange pylons. Deer and elk are reported on and near the airport. If you are planning a first visit, brief the turf surface, the obstruction picture and the wildlife risk before arrival. For clearance delivery, Portland Approach is listed in the remarks. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated procedures before flying in.
