Little Goose Lock and Dam Airport sits near Starbuck, Washington. Field elevation is 681 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 3,400 ft long and gravel. The published magnetic runway headings are 91° and 271°. No control tower is published. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern near 1,681 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Bring what you need for the stop. The published remarks matter here. Pedestrians, vehicles and animals may be on or near the runway. The surface is rough and soft. Pilots also provide chains. That points to a field where surface condition and ground handling deserve attention on arrival and departure. Plan for a careful taxi. Plan for a conservative takeoff roll. Keep a close look at the runway before you commit.
This is a non-towered field. Use CTAF calls. Keep your scan wide. Verify current conditions with the airport operator if you have any doubt about runway condition or access.
