William R Fairchild Intl is in Port Angeles, Washington. The field elevation is 291.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 09/27 at 6,347 ft. Runway 13/31 is 3,255 ft. There is no control tower, so plan on CTAF self-announce work. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 1,291.3 ft MSL.
KCLM has one ILS approach to runway 09. The airport uses CTAF 122.975 for both CTAF and UNICOM. Whidbey Approach is listed on 118.2 and 285.65. Clearance delivery is 124.15. Citizen Air, formerly Rite Bros. Aviation, is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. For Jet A after hours, the published remarks say to call the FBO.
A few runway notes matter here. Visual glide slope indicators on runway 09 are unusable beyond 5 NM because of high terrain. Runway 27 has a building near the approach side, so pay attention to the displaced threshold and obstacle picture. Runway 13/31 is closed from dusk to dawn. If you are new to the field, brief the terrain, the non-towered pattern and the lighting setup before arrival.
