Presque Isle Airport (83B) sits in Presque Isle, Maine. Field elevation is 500 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest is 6,000 ft on the water, with runway 01W/19W. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Pattern altitude is 1,300 ft AGL, which is 1,800 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. This is a VFR-only field per the published remarks, so plan accordingly and check weather before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center at 603-879-6859. The airport is northwest and in the vicinity of Presque Isle International Airport. The remarks also call out rising terrain on the west side of the lake. There is a controlling obstruction near runway 01W. Submerged tree stumps are in the north 300 ft of the pond. That makes a careful look at the water surface and landing path important on arrival.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Published remarks say fixed base operator services are available by phone at 207-764-2555. If you need current service details, call the airport operator or the FBO directly before departure. The manager emergency number is 207-764-2538. First-time pilots should treat this as a water operation with local hazards, VFR-only limits and no tower support.
