Virginia Tech/Montgomery Exec is in Blacksburg, Virginia. Field elevation is 2,119.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 5,501 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 13. The airport is not towered. Roanoke Approach handles clearance delivery. The published traffic pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL for non-turbine aircraft. Turbine aircraft use 1,500 ft AGL.
Virginia Tech Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (540) 231-4444 before you go. Fuel prior permission is required when the airport is unattended. There is also a fee for after-hours fuel. The airport is unattended on New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and major holidays.
A few operational items matter here. There is a noise sensitive area north of the airport. Wildlife can also be present on the field. VFR departures must maintain runway heading until reaching 1,000 ft AGL. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF, with PAPI on both ends and REIL on runway 31. For a first-time arrival, plan for the higher field elevation and watch the terrain and density altitude picture in the Blacksburg area.
