RWY 17

Greensboro Exec sits in Greensboro, North Carolina at 739 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 3,064 ft long and paved with asphalt. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern reference at 1,739 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 17 is the preferred uphill landing. Be ready for the published runway 17 trees near the threshold. There is also a drop-off past the 17 end. Runway 35 has equipment near the threshold. The runway numbers are smaller than standard. The runway lights on 17/35 are activated by 5 clicks only. If the CTAF is used more than 5 times, the control locks out for 10 minutes.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Call ahead for availability before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Greensboro Approach at 743-222-6129. There is no separate runup area at either end. The turn-arounds are part of the runway, so plan your ground handling carefully.
