RWY 08

Francisco Manglona Borja/Tinian Intl sits on Tinian Island in the Northern Mariana Islands. Field elevation is 270 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 8,600 ft long with asphalt-concrete pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF is 123.6.

No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is 1,032 ft AGL for small aircraft. Large and turbine-powered aircraft use 1,532 ft AGL. That matters here because the airport is not towered. You need to self-announce and keep a close ear on CTAF.

Published remarks show the field is attended from 0700 to 1900. Runway end identifier lights and medium intensity runway lights are installed on 08/26. Lights can be requested after hours for emergencies. There is also a radio deadzone on the west end of taxiway Alpha to runway 08. That is worth planning around on the ground.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival for current services. Customs is available during scheduled operations. Prior arrangements are required at other times. The airport also has prior permission requirements for some operations, including unscheduled aircraft with more than 10 passenger seats. The runway length is generous, but this is still a remote island field. Verify current procedures before you go.
