RWY 28R

Salem Airpark sits in Salem, Ohio. The field elevation is 1,162 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 10L/28R at 3,404 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Cleveland Approach handles IFR services on 125.5 and 371.875. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. For a light piston aircraft, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedure says otherwise. Salem Airpark has one on-field FBO, Salem Airpark. It carries 100LL. 100LL is also available 24 hours a day through self-serve credit card. The airport sits in a mixed-use area, so watch for deer, birds and other wildlife near the runway. A drag strip lies southeast of the field. It can look like airport pavement from the air.

Runway 10L/28R has nonstandard low-intensity lights that are controlled by CTAF. The pavement is restricted to aircraft under 8,000 lb maximum gross weight. Runway 10R/28L is turf. Check turf condition with the airport manager before you plan to use it. The published remarks also call out obstacle clearance issues near runway 28R. Verify current conditions before arrival, especially if you are planning a short-field or night operation.
