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 uses a standard T-Bar initial approach structure but has non-coincidental visual and instrument glideslopes, requiring pilot decision-making.
- Altitude management differs based on LPV (precision-like) versus LNAV (non-precision-like) minimums, and missed approach holding patterns utilize modern 4-nm legs, not traditional 1-minute legs.
- Not having the local KBHB altimeter significantly increases landing minimums, and pilot-controlled lighting at the airport operates on a specific frequency (122.7) rather than the CTAF.
