Knox County Rgnl sits in Rockland, Maine. Field elevation is 55.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,412 ft on runway 13/31. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.05 for self-announce traffic. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The field has one ILS approach to runway 13. Lighting is good to know before a night arrival. MALSR is on runway 13. REIL is on runways 03 and 31. PAPI is available on runways 03, 13 and 31. Runway 13/31 has high intensity lighting. Runway 03/21 has medium intensity lighting. Published remarks also say the airport may be unattended from 2200 to 0600. There is a voluntary night curfew from 2230 to 0600. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
Downeast Air is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Deer and seagulls are reported on and near the airport. Keep that in mind on taxi, takeoff and landing. For a first visit, the main things are the uncontrolled pattern, the night lighting setup on runway 13 and the published noise and curfew guidance.
