RWY 05

Molokai Airport sits near Kaunakakai on Molokai in Hawaii. Field elevation is 453.9 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 4,494 ft. Tower service is published from 0600 to 1830. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Honolulu Control Facility. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and weather in mind.

Pattern altitude is published as 1,250 ft MSL for small aircraft. Large aircraft use 1,950 ft MSL. That matters here because the field is on an island with active traffic and changing weather. Runway 17/35 has a published pavement classification number of 124/F/B/X/T. Runway 05/23 is 104/F/A/X/T. Brush is reported 1,900 ft from the displaced threshold of runway 23. Standing water and ponding can show up on runway 17/35 near taxiway Echo during inclement weather.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Check with the airport operator or the field directly before arrival for current services. Large aircraft with wingspans greater than 78 ft may not use taxiway A or runway 05/23 for simultaneous operations. If you are bringing hazardous material or special cargo, the published prior permission rules apply. The airport manager is Mr. Antone Kalilikane.
