Pearson Fld is in Vancouver, Washington, just north of the Columbia River and close to Portland traffic flow. Field elevation is 28.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 08/26, at 3,275 ft asphalt. It is an untowered field. CTAF is 119.0. Portland Approach and Departure frequencies are published for the area. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL, which is 1,028.6 ft MSL. That matters here because the field sits under Portland International traffic. Operations over the runway centerline or extended centerline must stay at or below 700 ft MSL. The runway 08 VASI also has a limit. It is unusable beyond 6 degrees left or right of centerline. Fort Vancouver Stockade National Park is just north of runway 08. Overflight there is not authorized.
Aero Maintenance Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL. Runway 26 has a displaced threshold for night operations. The published usable pavement centerline is 2,513 ft. Helicopter hover-taxi is not authorized. If you plan an overnight or extended stay, contact the airport manager first. For any special notice or procedure details, verify with the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport directly before you go.
