Oxford County Rgnl Airport (81B) sits in Oxford, Maine at 345 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 2,997 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,345 ft MSL here.
No ILS approaches are published. This is a VFR-only field. Clearance delivery is handled through Portland Approach when needed. If Approach is closed, use Boston ARTCC. The airport uses CTAF 122.8 for CTAF and UNICOM. Medium intensity runway lights for 15/33 are activated on CTAF.
Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. No on-field FBOs are listed. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Runway 15/33 has two-inch drop-offs on all sides and at the thresholds. There are also 6 to 10 ft trees near the threshold area for runway 15, offset to the right of centerline. That makes a stabilized approach important, especially with the field’s short runway and no published instrument approach. First-time pilots should plan for a straightforward VFR arrival, verify the current Chart Supplement and be ready for the local terrain and obstacle picture before turning final.
