Braxton County Airport is in Sutton, West Virginia. The field elevation is 1,275.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 3,995 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published.
For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a terrain and obstacle environment that deserves a close look on both ends. Runway 02 has trees near the approach end. There is also a ditch crossing the approach end. Runway 20 has a hill off the right side near the threshold. Deer are reported on and near the airport.
Braxton County Airport is served by the Braxton County Airport FBO on field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. Call ahead at (304) 853-2538 for current service details. Published remarks also note that the beacon is on a hill northwest of the airport. Runway 02 and runway 20 have medium intensity lights activated by CTAF. Runway 20 also has PAPI. For clearance delivery, contact Clarksburg Approach. If approach is closed, use Indianapolis ARTCC. This is the kind of field where a first-time arrival should brief the runway environment, lighting and local traffic before descent.
