RWY 12W

FLOATHAVEN sits in Bellingham, Washington. Field elevation is 307 ft MSL. It has one runway, 12W/30W and it is a 10,000 ft water runway. The field is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise.

The Chart Supplement also says to land and take off in the center of the lake.
