Henry E Rohlsen is in Christiansted, Virgin Islands. Field elevation is 73.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 10/28, which is 10,002 ft long. The tower is open from 0700 to 2200. One ILS approach is published for runway 10. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so a light piston pilot should use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Bohlke International Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available from 0700 to 1900. Outside those hours, call ahead for permission. Runway 10 has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights. High intensity runway lights for 10 and 28 operate from 2300 to 0700 on CTAF. The airport also has a note about runway 28. Smoke from the landfill east of the airport can obscure the approach at times.
This is a busy island field with wildlife on and near the airport. Surface condition is not monitored daily from 2300 to 0600 Atlantic Standard Time. When the tower is closed, contact San Juan Center Radar Approach Control. The field is at low elevation, so density altitude is usually less of a factor than at mountain airports. Still, plan for island weather, traffic flow and the published lighting and approach notes before you go in.
