Bowerman Fld sits in Hoquiam, Washington. The field elevation is 17.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 06/24, at 5,000 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. The published ILS serves runway 24. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Bowerman Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries Jet A and 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours a day with a major credit card. The airport has high intensity runway lighting on 06/24. PAPI is installed on both ends. Runway 24 also has MALSR. REIL is installed on runway 06. That makes night and IFR work more straightforward, but the field still deserves a careful look. There is a 103 ft crane about 0.2 NM southwest of the airport near runway 24. Waterfowl are reported on and near the airport. Expect that to matter on arrival and departure. A service road also sits south of the runway in the primary surface area. Ultralight aircraft are prohibited without written permission from the airport manager. For clearance delivery help, the Chart Supplement notes Seattle ARTCC contact if FSS cannot be reached.
