RWY 14W

Moosehead Aero Marine sits in Greenville, Maine. The field elevation is 1,028 ft MSL. It has two water runways. The longest is 14W/32W at 6,000 ft. 18W/36W is 5,000 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,028 ft MSL based on the field elevation, but verify before you fly. The airport is in a remote part of Maine. Density altitude is usually not the main issue here. Cold weather can be. This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency for arrival planning. The Chart Supplement notes a dock is available. Bring your own ropes to secure the aircraft. Boston ARTCC handles clearance delivery. Nearby 21M Currier's Seaplane Base uses the same CTAF, so listen carefully on 122.9 and keep the traffic picture clean. If you can use 3B1 CTAF 122.8 for local traffic, that helps separate calls.
