Westfield-Barnes Rgnl sits in Westfield and Springfield, Massachusetts. Field elevation is 270 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 9,000 ft. Runway 15/33 is 5,000 ft. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2200. Runway 20 has the published ILS approach. Pattern altitude is 1,299 ft MSL. That is 1,029 ft AGL.
Atlantic Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available from 0700 to 1900. After 1900, service is by prior permission through the FBO.
A few items matter here. Taxiway G is closed to civilian operations. Noise abatement procedures are in effect as directed by the airport manager. Class D airspace is effective from 1200 to 0300 Zulu. Outside those hours, Class G applies. Runway 02/20 is grooved. The first 400 ft is concrete. The rest is asphalt. The airport also publishes caution about severe downdraft near runway 33 when northwest winds are above 15 knots. Birds and other wildlife are also present. If you are planning a night arrival or a heavy aircraft arrival, check the current Chart Supplement and brief the runway 02/20 arresting barrier status before you go.
