Bowman Fld (B10) sits in Livermore Falls, Maine near 14 Lyman Lane. Field elevation is 324.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is a 2,201 ft turf strip, so plan for soft spots after rain and check conditions with the airport manager before you go. The runway is not plowed in winter. Night operations are not permitted except in an emergency.

There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published, so this is a VFR-only field. Pattern altitude is 1,350 ft AGL, which is 1,674.2 ft MSL. Runway 02 has yellow barrels at the threshold. Runway 20 has the same marking at its end. Published remarks also call out trees 40 to 70 ft high about 800 ft from the Runway 02 threshold on both sides. That is worth keeping in mind on departure and arrival.

No on-field FBOs are listed. For current fuel or service availability, contact the airport operator or call the field directly. If you need clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Portland Approach when it is open. When approach is closed, use Boston ARTCC. Runway headings are 8° for 02 and 188° for 20 magnetic.
