RWY 10

Youngstown Elser Metro Airport sits in Youngstown, Ohio. The field elevation is 1,069.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 10/28, which is 4,012 ft long. There is no control tower. The airport is unattended on Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas. The runway environment has several published obstacles near both ends, so brief the departure and arrival path before you go. Runway 10 has trees close in on the approach side. Runway 28 has telephone poles, a road, a fence and hangars near the obstacle clearance surface. Large transverse centerline cracks are also published for runway 10/28, so expect a pavement condition check on rollout and takeoff.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Gemco Aviation Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. For clearance delivery, contact Youngstown Approach at 330-856-4806. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. The tower is located 7.5 NM north-northeast of the airport. Calm wind runway is runway 10. If you need transient hangar space, prior coordination is required. This is a non-towered field with published approach and departure support. Expect to self-announce on CTAF and keep an eye out for local traffic.
