Lewiston/Nez Perce County Airport sits in Lewiston, Idaho. Field elevation is 1,442.1 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 08/26 at 6,511 ft. Runway 12/30 is 5,003 ft. The field has a control tower. Tower hours are 0600 to 2200. An ILS is available for runway 26.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts for this field. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. Published remarks show the traffic pattern altitude as 1,060 ft AGL for most aircraft. Heavy and turbine aircraft use 1,560 ft AGL. That matters here because the airport also notes frequent no-radio agricultural traffic in the area. Expect to keep your scan sharp.
Hillcrest Aircraft Company is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. When the tower is closed, the published lighting notes say to activate the approach lights and runway lighting on CTAF for runway 26. Use CTAF for runway 08 too. The PAPI is available for runways 12 and 30. Runway 26 also has a note that the PAPI is unusable beyond 3.5 NM. The airport is closed to unscheduled air carrier operations with more than 30 passenger seats unless prior permission is obtained from the airport manager.
