Bartlett Cove (BQV) sits in Bartlett Cove, Alaska. Field elevation is 0 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts, so this is not a runway airport briefing. CTAF is 122.5. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL only if that fits your aircraft and the current local traffic picture. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks matter here. From May 1 to September 16, docking is limited to 3 hours. From September 17 to April 30, the limit is 10 days. The wind indicator is on the ferry terminal. The seaplane float is exposed to westerly seas. A weather camera is available online for a quick look before departure.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF for current service status. For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan around are the water environment, the docking limits and the exposed float area when winds are out of the west. Verify current local procedures before you commit.
