RWY 28

Richwood Muni is in Richwood, West Virginia. The field elevation is 2,486 ft MSL. It has one runway, 10/28, which is 3,360 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The airport is closed at night. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 3,486 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before flight.

The runway surface is asphalt. The published remarks call out cracks with vegetation, soft shoulders and no snow removal. Winter use can be a problem because the runway is frequently snow covered. There are also tree obstructions near both runway ends. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. The gate is locked. Call the airport manager for access before you go.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Plan on calling the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone for current services. For clearance delivery, contact Washington ARTCC at 703-771-3587. If you are planning a first visit, treat this as a high-elevation mountain field with limited services. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
