Islesboro Airport sits in Islesboro, Maine. Field elevation is 88.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 2,400 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. The airport is for daytime use only. It is closed at night. VFR operations only are published.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,088 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation. Noise abatement calls for runway heading to 1,000 ft AGL. No touch-and-go operations are permitted.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival for current services. Bangor Approach handles clearance delivery by phone at the number in the Chart Supplement. Watch for deer on and near the airport. Runway 19 has nearby trees, brush and a road off the right side. Runway 01 has trees near the threshold and a displaced-threshold limitation tied to an obstacle. If you are planning a first visit, treat this as a short, daytime-only island strip with published obstacle notes and no instrument backup.
