Friday Harbor Airport (KFHR) sits in Friday Harbor, Washington. Field elevation is 112.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,402 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. Traffic works CTAF 128.25. Whidbey Approach handles departure and approach services on 118.2 and 285.65.
No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting and REIL are activated on CTAF. PAPI is also published for both ends. That helps for night work or a first visit.
Sound Aircraft Maintenance is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Pilots should plan for a busy local traffic environment. The published remarks call out high traffic near the airport, so lights on during arrival and departure is a good habit. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and contact the airport manager before arrival if you need the current details. Aircraft over 7,500 lb may be charged a fee based on weight. Wingspans over 55 ft need 24-hour prior permission. There is also soft ground near the tie-down area, so use care when parking.
