RWY 09

Port Allen is in Hanapepe, Hawaii on Kauai. Field elevation is 24 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27, which is 2,450 ft long. It is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.9.

Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 824 ft MSL. No ILS approaches are published. The runway is asphalt. Published remarks say the airport is restricted by the owner to aircraft under 12,500 pounds. That matters for planning, especially if you are bringing a heavier airplane.

Noise abatement is important here. Avoid overflight of the salt pond, the state recreational beach park and the residential and commercial areas north of the airfield. Bird activity is reported near the runway. Skydiving also occurs on and near the airport. Daily helicopter traffic is part of the picture too.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services before you go. No airfield security is provided. Overnight aircraft parking is not authorized. For information from 2200 to 0600, contact Honolulu Flight Service Station on 122.6. For clearance delivery, contact Honolulu Control Facility at 808-840-6262. The field sits close to sea level, so density altitude is usually less of a concern than runway length, traffic mix and staying clear of the published noise-sensitive areas.
