Port of Whitman Business Air Center is in Colfax, Washington. The field elevation is 2,181 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 3,209 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is 829 ft AGL, which puts it at 3,010 ft MSL. That matters here because the airport sits high enough to make density altitude a real planning item in warmer months. The runway environment also deserves a close look. FAA remarks call out hills near runway 26. They also note a 30-foot building south of the runway, deer in the area, birds near the creek south of the airport and farm machinery operating in the fields on both sides of the runway and off both ends. Medium intensity runway lights on 08/26 are activated by CTAF.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Call the airport operator directly before arrival for current services. FAA remarks also note courtesy car availability by phone at 509-954-6881. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694. If you are planning a night arrival or a longer cross-country, verify current airport remarks in the Chart Supplement before you go.
