Hancock County/Bar Harbor (KBHB) has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 04/22 at 5,200 ft long and 100 ft wide. The shorter runway is 17/35 at 3,363 ft long and 75 ft wide. The field elevation is 83.2 ft MSL. There is no control tower.

Runway 22 has ILS. That is the only ILS runway end listed in the facts. Pilots should also plan for the published noise abatement note. During VFR conditions when wind speed is less than 5 knots as reported by AWOS or UNICOM, all aircraft using runway 04/22 are required to take off and land on runway 22 for noise abatement procedures. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest airport data before flight.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless local procedures say otherwise. The field elevation is 83.2 ft MSL.

This is an uncontrolled field. There is no tower to sequence traffic. Build your pattern with self-announced position reports and good spacing. The facts do not list any right-traffic exceptions. The published noise abatement note affects runway 04/22 in light wind VFR conditions. When wind speed is less than 5 knots as reported by AWOS or UNICOM, use runway 22 for both takeoff and landing on that runway system.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
