LYNDEN MUNI/JANSEN FLD sits in Lynden, Washington. Field elevation is 106 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 08/26, which is 2,425 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,106 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The on-field FBO is Lynden Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Call (360) 354-3446 before arrival if you need current field details.

Read the remarks before you go. The runway 08 side has nearby road and ditch obstacles. The runway 26 side has trees close in on the approach path. Night use needs extra care here. The threshold was relocated for night operations. Only 1,871 ft is lighted at night. The published note also says to avoid night landings to runway 26 when winds allow. Run-ups are not permitted on the runway 26 turnaround taxiway. For a first visit, plan a conservative approach, brief the displaced thresholds and verify any current local notes with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement.
