RWY 27

Rocky Hill (48P) sits in Cresco, Pennsylvania at 1,240 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 1,000 ft of turf. The airport is not towered. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic. That puts the pattern at 2,240 ft MSL.

No ILS approaches are published here. The field is set up for daylight VFR use. Published remarks call for a clear 20 to 1 approach and departure path. They also say operations should minimize noise. A letter of agreement with MOCENT Pocono Municipal Airport coordinates all activities. The approach to runway 09 rises 13 to 1 up to the threshold. The approach to runway 27 rises 14 to 1 for the first 80 ft from the threshold. Deer and other wildlife are reported on and near the airport.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-sufficiency. CTAF traffic calls are on 122.9. For clearance delivery, contact Allentown Approach at 800-728-6322. If you are new to the strip, pay close attention to the short turf runway. Watch the obstruction notes. Keep wildlife in mind.
