Becks Grove (K16) is in Rome, New York. Field elevation is 450 ft MSL. This is an airport with no listed runways in the current facts block, so verify the usable landing surface and length with the airport operator before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator gives you a different number. The published remarks matter here. Runway 06 has tree obstructions close to the runway. More trees are near the threshold. Runway 24 has a road, a fence, a tree and another road near the threshold area. Edge lights are not centered on the pavement on approach to runway 6. The lights also activate on request.

Large birds such as turkeys and deer are reported on and near runway 06/24. That is worth planning for on takeoff and landing. For clearance delivery, contact Syracuse Approach at 315-455-6218. If you are planning a first visit, treat this as a field where current local conditions matter. Verify the runway status, lighting use and any operating limits with the airport operator before departure.
