Wakefield Muni sits in Wakefield, Virginia. Field elevation is 111.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 4,337 ft long, so plan your performance with that single strip in mind.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Norfolk Approach handles clearance delivery and approach or departure work on 127.9 or 269.425. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Wakefield Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Twenty-four hour self-serve fuel is available. That is useful if you are working an early arrival or a late departure.
The published remarks matter here. Runway 03 and 21 markings are reported covered with algae. There are also obstacle notes near both thresholds. The clearance slopes to the displaced thresholds are tight, so give yourself a careful look at the runway environment before landing. For a first-time arrival, expect an uncontrolled field with Norfolk Approach coordination and review the current Chart Supplement before you go.
