Northern Aroostook Regional Airport sits in Frenchville, Maine. Field elevation is 987.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 14/32, which is 4,600 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published, so plan with the current Chart Supplement and your usual nonprecision backup if you need one.
Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current airport information says otherwise. That puts the pattern about 1,987 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The on-field FBO is Northern Aroostook Regional Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call 207-543-6300 for availability. The published remarks also say to call the airport manager after hours for fuel.
A few operational details matter here. Runway end identifier lights are on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is on runway 32. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. If you need clearance delivery, Boston ARTCC is listed in the remarks. For any current noise, lighting, or after-hours questions, check the current Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
