ME6 is in Wales, Maine. The field elevation is 210 ft MSL. There are no runways listed in the facts block, so verify the current surface and usable layout before you go. This is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.9. The airport is daylight VFR only. It is also closed November through May except for skiing, so check current status before planning a stop.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator for the latest traffic pattern and local procedures before arrival. Published remarks also note soft runway conditions in spring. That matters here. Expect a field that can change with weather and season.
For clearance delivery, Portland Approach is listed at 207-874-7320. When Approach is closed, Boston ARTCC is listed at 603-879-6859. Aircraft should maintain 122.8 in the vicinity of the airport. The remarks also call out nearby towers southeast and south-southeast of the airport. If you are flying in for the first time, treat this as a seasonal, daylight-only stop and verify the current field condition before you launch.
