Deerfield Valley Rgnl Airport (4V8) sits in West Dover, Vermont. Field elevation is 1,953 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 2,650 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Plan performance with that in mind.

Published remarks point to a few things a first-time pilot should know. There is debris on the runway and extensive cracking. There is also an obstruction issue near both ends. Runway 19 has a tree close to the departure end. Runway 01 has a cataloged obstruction that exceeds a 45-degree slope. There is a 60-foot drop off close to the runway end, so pay close attention to your rollout and takeoff planning. There is no line of sight between runway ends. For clearance delivery, contact Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call ahead before arrival.
