Hancock County/Bar Harbor Airport sits in Bar Harbor, Maine. Field elevation is 83.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 5,200 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.0 and UNICOM 123.0 for local traffic. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
KBHB has one ILS approach to runway 22. Runway 22 also has medium intensity approach lighting with sequenced flashers. Runway 04 has REILs. Both 04 and 22 have a VASI. The field is served by Modern Aviation on the field. They carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport sits in a coastal area, so expect changing wind and bird activity in the vicinity. The published remarks also say that when VFR winds are under 5 knots as reported by AWOS or UNICOM, aircraft using runway 04/22 are required to use runway 22 for noise abatement. Runway 04/22 has a hump at midpoint. The opposite ends are not visible from ground level. Taxiways F and G are closed each year from December 1 through March 31. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before you go.
