Washington County Airport sits in Washington, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 1,183.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27, at 5,004 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. The published ILS serves Runway 27. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Skyward Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (724) 754-8161 for current service details before you go. The field has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey. Runway 27 has end identifier lights. The runway lights are high intensity and are controlled by CTAF.
This is a field to brief carefully on arrival. Published remarks show lit poles near the approach to Runway 09. Hills and trees also sit near both ends. Birds are present on and near the runway. Runway 09 has a PAPI note that limits its use beyond 7 degrees right of centerline. The airport has been in operation since before 1959. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operational notes before you fly in. Also verify current airspace and approach details on the chart, since this field sits near Pittsburgh frequencies.
