HOLLANDS INTL FLD sits in Newfane, New York at 360 ft MSL. This is a small VFR-only field with no control tower and no published runways listed in the facts. No ILS approaches are published. The CTAF is 122.9. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you go. The airport is in rolling terrain. The published remarks also say the surface is rough and unsuitable for aircraft. That alone should make this a verify-before-you-go stop, not a casual landing decision.

The remarks point to several hazards around the field. There is a 4 foot ditch between the runway and taxiway. The runway is used for farming, so large round hay bales may be on the runway. Trees are also a major issue. Runway NE has numerous trees 25 to 80 feet tall close to the centerline. There are also 90 foot trees at the runway end and along the edge. Runway SW is surrounded by numerous 100 foot trees. Obstacle clearance slope is zero to one. For clearance delivery, contact Cleveland ARTCC at 440-774-0490. No on-field FBOs are listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service status before arrival.
