RWY 09

Leonard M Thompson Intl is at Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas. Field elevation is 8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 6,100 ft long with asphalt pavement. The field is not towered. UNICOM is 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise.

Cherokee Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (242) 367-1900 for current service details before arrival. Runway 09 and Runway 27 each have a precision approach path indicator. That helps on final. It is useful if you are coming in over water or in marginal light.

This is a low-elevation coastal airport, so density altitude is usually not the same issue you get at mountain fields. The bigger planning items are customs, immigration and any foreign civil government landing fee or diplomatic clearance requirements. Customs and immigration are published for all months and all days from 1400 to 2200 Zulu, with other hours available on request. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local operating notes before you go.
