No FAA diagram published

The FAA does not publish an Airport Diagram (APD) for KOBE — most non-towered fields, heliports, seaplane bases, and private strips fall here. Below: aerial imagery showing the actual field, runways, taxiways, and surroundings.

Runways at KOBE

4 runway ends on file. Longest: 5,000 ft. Max gradient: 0.02%
