RWY 10

Watertown Intl sits in Watertown, New York. Field elevation is 330.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 10/28 at 7,001 ft. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered procedures on CTAF 123.0. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current Chart Supplement before you go. One ILS is published for runway 07.

The on-field FBO is Watertown International Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. If you need fuel or ramp details, call ahead at (315) 786-6001. Published remarks show MALSR lighting on runways 07 and 28. REIL is on runway 25. PAPI is listed for all runway ends. That helps after dark or in lower visibility.

This field also has customs-related procedures. Two hours prior permission is required for U.S. Customs. Unscheduled operations with more than 30 passenger seats also need prior permission two hours in advance. The airport notes landing fees for aircraft over 6,000 lb. Ground vehicles use the common traffic advisory frequency. If you are planning a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before arrival. The field is close to the lake and the region can see winter weather. Plan for that in your fuel and alternates.
