DeBlois Flight Strip (43B) sits in Deblois, Maine. Field elevation is 217.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 15/33, at 4,500 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,218 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Confirm before you go if you are flying anything unusual.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency and verify current services with the airport operator or by calling the field on CTAF before arrival. Published remarks matter here. The runway can pick up loose gravel from vehicle traffic. Men and equipment may be on or near the runway in summer. Runway numbers and centerlines are faded or missing on both ends. Threshold drop-offs on 15 and 33 are reported to be more than 5 inches. The field is daylight use only. It is closed in winter months except for ski aircraft. For clearance delivery, contact Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859.
