RWY 19

Presque Isle International is in Presque Isle, Maine. Field elevation is 534 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 01/19 at 7,441 ft. Runway 10/28 is 6,000 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF and UNICOM self-announce traffic on 122.8.

One ILS is published here. It serves runway 01. The pattern altitude is not published, so a first-time pilot should verify the current Chart Supplement before flight. The airport sits in cold-weather country. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 36 degrees Celsius. That matters here when winter air gets very cold. The field also has published lighting notes. Runway 01 uses MALSR. Runway 19 uses REIL and high-intensity lights. Runways 10 and 28 use medium-intensity lights. Activation is on 122.6.

Presque Isle International Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (207) 764-2555 for current service details. The airport also has a published caution for small unmanned aircraft activity south of the field during daylight hours. Clearance delivery is handled through Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859. The airport is closed to unscheduled air carrier operations with more than 30 passenger seats unless prior permission is obtained from the airport manager.
