Hawthorne-Feather Airpark sits in Hillsboro, New Hampshire. Field elevation is 600 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 3,260 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Hawthorne-Feather Airpark. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so call the field directly at (603) 588-6868 before you go if fuel matters for your trip. Published remarks say wildlife is present on and near the airport. They also flag faded runway 20 markings. They flag faded runway 02 markings. They also note non-standard markings on runway 02. The field is VFR only. For clearance delivery, Boston Approach is listed at 603-594-5552.
The runway environment deserves a close look before arrival. There are trees near both ends, including a 60 ft tree group near the threshold of runway 20 and a tree grove plus a single tree near runway 02. The published obstruction note for runway 02 also says the obstruction exceeds a 45 degree slope. With no tower and no ILS, this is a field where a current briefing and a careful visual setup matter.
