Duanesburg Airport sits in Duanesburg, New York. Field elevation is 714 ft MSL. This is a small non-towered field with one runway. The runway is 10/28. It is 2,600 ft long. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston ops, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The field uses CTAF 123.0. UNICOM is also 123.0. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport manager or the field before you go.

The published remarks matter here. Runway 10/28 is grass with some gravel. The airport notes wet spots in spring with cone markers. Trees penetrate the primary surface on the south side of the runway. Runway 10 also has a negative slope in the safety area near the threshold. The airport is not compliant with FAR 157. That makes a current preflight check important before you launch. If you need clearance delivery, Albany Approach is the published contact. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a short turf-gravel strip with terrain and surface conditions that can change fast after rain.
