Nanaimo Airport sits in Nanaimo. Field elevation is 92 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, at 6,602 ft. That gives plenty of pavement for most GA traffic. There is no control tower. No tower hours are published. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current instrument charting before you go.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is not listed with any on-field FBOs in the facts provided. Verify fuel and service options with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before departure. Deer are reported in the vicinity of the runway. That is worth keeping in mind on taxi, takeoff and landing. Runway headings are magnetic. The runway is asphalt. With no tower and no published frequencies in the facts, get the current airport details before arrival and make sure your radio plan is current. The airport sits near sea level, so density altitude is usually less of a concern than at high-elevation fields. Still, watch for wildlife and use normal short-field discipline if conditions call for it.
