Jaffrey Airfield Silver Ranch is in Jaffrey, New Hampshire. The field elevation is 1,039.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 16/34, which is 2,982 ft long. The airport is non-towered. 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 local guidance says otherwise. Silver Ranch Airpark is on the field. It carries 100LL. Call (603) 532-8870 for current service details before you go.

There are a few things to brief before arrival. Runway 34 has a displaced threshold and nonstandard centerline markings. The published remarks also call out terrain and trees near the 34 threshold. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. A parallel taxiway serves the hangar and ramp only. It does not give runway access to 34. Calm wind runway is 34. The airport has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey. For clearance delivery, contact Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859. If you need night lighting, prior permission is required for the nonstandard low intensity runway lights.
