Robertson Fld is in Plainville, Connecticut. The field elevation is 201.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 3,666 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. The pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,001.8 ft MSL for aircraft under 12,500 lb. Aircraft 12,500 lb and above use 1,300 ft AGL.
No ILS approaches are published here. The airport uses CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. Bradley Approach handles clearance delivery and approach or departure services. Noise abatement procedures are in effect, so check the current Chart Supplement before you go. There is also a brush obstruction near the left side of runway 02. Deer and birds are a known issue on and near the airport.
Interstate Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF. REILs are installed on runways 02 and 20. PAPI is available on both ends and operates continuously. For a first-time arrival, pay close attention to the pattern altitude, the noise procedures and the wildlife risk. The runway length is workable for many GA aircraft. The published remarks also note that the airport existed before 1959.
