PELELIU (C23) sits on Babelthuap Island. Field elevation is 9 ft MSL. No tower is published for the airport. CTAF is 122.9. No runways are listed in the facts block, so verify the current runway layout with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning an arrival. No ILS approaches are published.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL only as the stated standard assumption for light piston aircraft, then verify the current traffic pattern in the Chart Supplement before you go. Published remarks note brush and grass at the edge of the runway area. They also note that the first 1,000 feet of runway 04 is unusable. That is operationally important for takeoff and landing planning.

Airspace determination is still pending in the published remarks. Check the current Chart Supplement or the current sectional before flight. For local weather briefings, Honolulu Flight Service Station can be reached at 808-836-8054. The 1-800-WX-BRIEF number is not available from this location. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so contact the airport operator directly or call on CTAF for current fuel and service availability.
