Stephen A Bean Muni is in Rangeley, Maine. The field elevation is 1,821.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 14/32, which is 4,299 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Acadian Seaplanes is on the field. Call them at (207) 864-5307 for current fuel availability. The published remarks say 100LL can be arranged by phone. Bring your own tie down ropes.

A few operational notes matter here. Runway 14 has grass and weeds 25 to 200 feet from the threshold across the approach path. The runway 14 VASI is unusable beyond 3 NM. Runway numbers and centerline markings are faded or missing on both ends. The runway lights, REILs and PAPI are controlled by CTAF. This is a cold temperature airport, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 30 degrees Celsius. Military traffic also operates in the area, including F-16s, A-10s and helicopters. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
