Kent State University Airport (1G3) is in Kent, Ohio. The field elevation is 1,134.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 4,000 ft long. Runway 20 is the calm wind runway. The airport is non-towered. The published pattern altitude is 850 ft AGL, which is 1,984.5 ft MSL.
There are no published ILS approaches here. For IFR work, plan on Cleveland Approach for clearance delivery and approach services when they are open. If Approach is closed, the remarks direct pilots to Cleveland ARTCC for clearance help. The airport has medium intensity runway lights, REILs on both runway ends and VASI on runways 02 and 20. That helps for night work and for getting set up on final.
Kent State University Airport has one on-field FBO. Kent State University Airport carries AVGAS 100LL. The remarks say 100LL is available only when attended. Self-service is not available. Transient hangar use needs prior permission. Heavy student training activity is published, so expect a busy pattern. Wildlife is also noted in the area. Call the airport manager for noise abatement details before you go.
