Kalaupapa Airport sits in Kalaupapa, Hawaii on the north shore of Molokai. Field elevation is 23.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 2,700 ft asphalt, with magnetic headings 61° and 241°. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is 776 ft AGL, or 799.9 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. That makes current weather, local terrain and visual cues more important than usual. The published remarks also matter. Medium intensity runway lights on 05/23 are activated by CTAF only. The PAPI on runway 05 is for daytime VFR use only. It is out of service indefinitely. Terrain also penetrates the PAPI safety slope beyond 2.7 NM. Deer and other wild animals are reported on and near the airport at night. From October to May, large waves can throw salt spray up to 40 feet high along the shoreline.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local support. Airport operations, maintenance, management and administration are handled by Mr. Antone Kalilikane Molokai at 808-567-9660. For clearance delivery, contact Honolulu Control Facility at 808-840-6262. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current traffic advisories, settlement access limits, or other local restrictions before you go.
