Salmon River Airfield is in Marlborough, Connecticut. The field elevation is 540 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement before planning a landing here. No ILS approaches are published. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. Published remarks say the airport is VFR only. It is closed from sunset to sunrise. It is also closed from December 15 to April 30.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the current Chart Supplement for the correct traffic pattern information before you go. The remarks also note pilot-activated lighting for runways and taxiways, though the field is closed at night. All surfaces are under maintenance and work in progress. There is also a controlling obstruction near runway 17 that exceeds a 45 degree slope. That is a strong cue to review the current published data before any arrival.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Pilots must supply tie down ropes. For clearance delivery, contact Bradley Approach at 860-386-3597. Since the airport has no listed runways in the facts provided, verify the current runway status, surface condition and any operational limits with the airport operator before flight.
