Ken Jernstedt Airfield sits in Hood River, Oregon. The field elevation is 638 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 3,040 ft long and paved with asphalt. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 869 ft AGL. That is 1,507 ft MSL. Gliders use the right pattern on runway 07/25. Runway 25 is the calm wind runway. The published remarks also call this a noise sensitive area. Follow the Fly Friendly signs at the runway ends and avoid low flight over the airport. Crosswinds can bring strong low-level turbulence and wind shifts here, so plan your arrival with that in mind.
Hood Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL. The airport also has medium intensity runway lights on 07/25. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 25 and are controlled by CTAF. A turf runway exists in the grass median north of the paved runway. Do not use it at the same time as the paved runway. Clearance delivery is handled through Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694 when needed.
