Richmond Airport sits in West Kingston, Rhode Island. The field elevation is 130.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 11/29, which is 2,129 ft long. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Richmond Airport is a small field with one on-field FBO. Richmond Airport carries AVGAS 100LL. Call (401) 783-1498 before you go if you need fuel, since the airport has irregular hours. The published remarks also note that the rotating beacon is out of service indefinitely. Runway 11 uses low-intensity lights. The windsock lights are controlled by CTAF. Runway 11 is closed at night.
Plan for local hazards on arrival. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. There are dropoffs beyond both runway ends. Runway 11 also has trees close in on the approach side. The field is non-towered, so use CTAF 122.8 for traffic and listen for ultralights in the area. For clearance delivery, contact Providence Approach. If approach is closed, contact Boston ARTCC. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in for any updated lighting, runway, or operational notes.
