Ellington Airport (7B9) is in Ellington, Connecticut. The field elevation is 253 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 1,800 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan for VFR only unless current procedures change.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has one on-field FBO, Connecticut Parachutists. It carries 100LL. Call (860) 871-0021 for current service details.
A few remarks matter here. Runway 01/19 has non-standard low intensity lights with threshold lights set outboard of the runway. The lights operate from dusk to 2400. For lights after 0000, call the published number during business hours. Runway 19 markings are faded. Taxiway pavement is in poor shape with cracking, patches, loose aggregate and small stones. There are also 25 ft trees near the runway end on the 19 side, plus a 6 ft sign near the 01 end. Traffic pattern is east side only for airplanes. Helicopter pattern is west side only. This is a VFR-only field. Check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport or FBO before arrival.
