John H Boylan State Airport (5B1) sits in Island Pond, Vermont. The field elevation is 1,194 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 2,650 ft of turf, which makes the airport a short-field, light-aircraft stop rather than a place to plan on fixed-wing margin for error. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway thresholds on 14 and 32 are marked with yellow cones. That is worth a close look on arrival, especially if you are used to paved strips.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on verifying services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For IFR clearance delivery, Boston ARTCC is the published contact. Winter ski operations also occur here, so expect seasonal activity on or near the field. With a turf runway, a mountain-state elevation and no published ILS, this is a place to brief your arrival carefully and check the current Chart Supplement before departure.
