Whether you’re flying to the Maine coastline to add your name to the list of the 3 million annual visitors to Acacia National Park or to try to decide which restaurants really are the 10 best for lobster in the region, you might come face to face with the RNAV (GPS) Runway 22 for an approach into Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport (KBHB).
Chart Wise: Bar Harbor RNAV (GPS) RWY 22
Key Takeaways:
- The RNAV (GPS) Runway 22 approach at KBHB features a "T-Bar" initial approach, non-coincidental visual and instrument glideslopes, and 4-nm holding legs for missed approaches.
- Pilots must understand that step-down minimums vary between LPV and LNAV approaches, and landing minimums significantly increase if the local KBHB altimeter setting is unavailable.
- Specific operational considerations for KBHB include common coastal weather challenges (fog, snow) and a distinct frequency (122.7) for pilot-controlled runway lighting.
