RWY 34

Prineville Airport sits in Prineville, Oregon at 3,251 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 11/29 at 5,405 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF and UNICOM 122.7 for local traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light-piston pattern reference unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 4,251 ft MSL. Hood Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. Twenty-four hour card-lock self-serve fuel is available.

A few published remarks matter here. Runway 11/29 has medium intensity lights. Runway 29 also has PAPI. Runway 16/34 has low intensity lights that are activated by CTAF. The airport also notes deer in and near the movement area. Runway 16/34 is limited to 5,000 lb max weight by the airport operator. It also has widespread cracking along its length. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. The field is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Watch your takeoff roll and climb performance.
