Frankfort-Highland (6B4) sits in Utica/Frankfort, New York. Field elevation is 1,325 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 13/31, which is 2,750 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Davand Aviation is on the field. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so verify with the FBO directly before you go.

Markings on both runway directions are faded. Geese are reported in the area during spring and fall. The airport also has a model plane club on the field.
