Astoria Regional Airport sits in Astoria, Oregon near the mouth of the Columbia River. Field elevation is 14.7 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 08/26 at 5,794 ft. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 26 has an ILS. Medium intensity runway lights are on both runways. The approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights is on runway 26. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 08. They are activated via CTAF. That matters here because the field has a lot of helicopter activity in the area. Expect to stay alert in the pattern and on the taxiways.
Astoria Regional Airport is on the field and carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel service is provided by the Port of Astoria. Published remarks say fuel service is available from 1600 to 0100 Zulu. A $50 fee applies. For after-hours fuel, call the FBO directly. Runway 26 also has a levee near the departure end. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go, especially if you need clearance help or are planning a night arrival.
