RWY 20

Moultonborough Airport sits in Moultonborough, New Hampshire. Field elevation is 576 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 3,505 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The field is VFR only. That matters here because the published remarks also call out non-radio aircraft, wildlife in the area and a roadway close to both sides of the runway environment. Runway 02 is the calm wind runway. The runway 02 displaced threshold is not marked. The approach to that displaced threshold has a steep slope, so brief your landing distance carefully. The runway lighting is non-standard low intensity. It is activated from CTAF by keying the mic five times. The rotating beacon uses the same five-click method.

Moultonborough Airport has one on-field FBO. Moultonborough Airport is listed on the field. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so confirm current fuel availability with the FBO directly by phone before departure. A courtesy car is available on request. Float plane access is also available to and from Berry Pond.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway length at 4MB and can a light airplane use it?
4MB has one runway, 02/20, at 3,505 ft. That is the longest runway on the field. For a light piston airplane, that length is usable. You still need to account for runway condition, weight, wind and the displaced threshold on runway 20.
Is Moultonborough Airport VFR only?
Yes. The published remarks say visual flight rules only. If you are planning an IFR arrival, check the current Chart Supplement and your alternate options before you launch.
What is the pattern altitude at 4MB?
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern near 1,576 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
Does 4MB have any ILS approaches?
No ILS approaches are published at 4MB. If you need an instrument procedure, verify current options in the current Chart Supplement before planning the flight.
Which runway is the calm wind runway at Moultonborough?
Runway 02 is designated as the calm wind runway. The runway headings are 4° and 184° magnetic. Expect the usual crosswind tradeoff when the wind is not light and variable.
How do you turn on the runway lights at 4MB?
The non-standard low intensity runway lights on 02/20 are activated on CTAF by clicking the microphone five times. Use three clicks to turn them off. The rotating beacon uses the same five-click method.
Which FBO is on the field at 4MB?
Moultonborough Airport is listed as the on-field FBO. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so call the FBO directly at (603) 393-1357 for current fuel availability and services.
Are there any runway or approach cautions at 4MB?
Yes. The remarks note a roadway 215 to 390 ft from the runway on both sides of the centerline. They also note wildlife in and around the airport, faded runway 2 pavement line markers and a displaced threshold on runway 20 that is not marked.
