RWY 25

Vancouver/Boundary Bay sits at Boundary Bay near the U.S. border in British Columbia. Field elevation is 6 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 6,008 ft on runway 07/25. Runway 13/31 is 5,605 ft. There is no control tower. Published frequencies include ATIS 125.5, ground 124.3. Local traffic uses 118.1 and 127.6.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless current airport information says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,006 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. The published remarks also note pilot supply rope. Plan for normal securement needs on the ramp.

For a first-time arrival, the main things to sort out are the non-towered flow, the two runway options and the lack of published ILS. With the field sitting just above sea level, density altitude is usually not the main issue. Traffic and local procedures are more likely to matter. Use the current Chart Supplement and listen carefully on the published frequencies before joining. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details.

Frequently asked questions

What is the field elevation at CZBB?
Field elevation is 6 ft MSL. That keeps density altitude concerns modest most of the time, though you should still check the weather and performance before departure.
Are there any on-field FBOs at CZBB?
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service availability.
