Kawaihapai Airfield sits in Mokuleia on Oahu in Hawaii. Field elevation is 14.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 08/26, at 9,007 ft. It is a long paved runway, but civil use is under agreement and you should check NOTAMs before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.

Pattern altitude is 786 ft AGL, which is 800.2 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published. North Shore Aviation Services is on the field. It carries JET_A.
