Homer Airport is in Homer, Alaska. The field elevation is 84.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 6,701 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.6.
An ILS is available to runway 04. The runway lighting setup includes medium intensity approach lights with sequenced flashers on 04. Runway 22 has medium intensity approach lights with runway alignment indicator lights. Both ends have precision approach path indicators. Both ends also have high intensity runway lights. Use CTAF for lighting or airport coordination.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL for fixed wing aircraft. That is 884.3 ft MSL. Rotary pattern altitude is 600 ft AGL and below. The airport sits in coastal Alaska, so expect weather, wind and bird activity to matter. Sea birds and water fowl are reported on and near the field during spring and summer. Noise abatement is in effect 24 hours a day. Turns before the departure end of runway 04/22 are not authorized.
Maritime Helicopters is on the field and carries JET_A. Kachemak Jet Center is also on the field and carries JET_A and JET_A_PRIST. For larger aircraft, prior permission in writing is required for operations with more than 30 passenger seats. Check current runway condition and service status before arrival. Snow and ice reports, wildlife control and other services are tied to scheduled maintenance hours or the airport manager after hours.
