Cape Blanco State Airport sits in Sixes, Oregon. The field elevation is 202 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 5,100 ft of asphalt, which gives you room for most light piston traffic and some larger aircraft within performance limits. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. Activated lighting is available on CTAF, so night operations depend on pilot-controlled lighting. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. That puts the light-aircraft pattern at 1,202 ft MSL. The published remarks also note brush and trees near both ends of the runway. Expect them 113 ft off either side of runway 14. Expect brush and trees 115 ft from runway 32 on both sides. There is also a cataloged obstruction near runway 14 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. That makes a stabilized approach and a close look at winds and performance important, especially if you are new to the field.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before you go. The airport has been established since before 1959. For current noise, curfew, or other local operating notes, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
