RWY 07

Upolu is in Hawi on the island of Hawaii. Field elevation is 96 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 07/25, at 3,800 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

For pattern work, the published traffic pattern altitude is 800 ft MSL for small aircraft. Large aircraft use 1,500 ft MSL. That matters here because the field is low, near the coast. The published pattern is not the standard 1,000 ft AGL assumption. The runway lighting on 07/25 is medium intensity. It is activated by CTAF. Occasional bird activity is reported on and near the airport. Skydiving activity is also present in the area.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Prior permission is required for transient parking. For clearance delivery, contact Honolulu Control Facility at 808-840-6262. Helicopters must stay on paved areas only. If you are planning a stop here, check current airport status with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
