Millinocket (70B) sits in Millinocket, Maine at 492 ft MSL. This is a seaplane base, not a paved runway airport. No runways are listed in the facts. No tower is in operation. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. For a light piston, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The published remarks matter here. The field is closed from October 31 to April 30. Water level can swing plus or minus 10 feet, with the lowest levels in September and October. Buoys mark rocks at low water. A 199-foot unlighted cell tower sits 2 SM at 132 degrees from the dock. It can affect the downwind to base leg when landing to the southwest. There is also significant boat traffic in the sea lane. The preferred takeoff and landing direction for seaplane operations is runway 04/22. That makes local waterway awareness important on every arrival and departure.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. If you need current services, contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current availability. For clearance delivery, use Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859.
