Virginia Tech/Montgomery Exec has 1 runway. Runway 13/31 is 5,501 ft long and 100 ft wide. The surface is asphalt. The airport sits at 2,119.4 ft MSL in Blacksburg, Virginia.

This is a non-towered field. There is no control tower. Runway 13 has ILS. The runway headings are 117° and 297° magnetic. Pilots should also plan for the noise sensitive area north of the airport. That note matters on departure and on pattern work.

The runway system is simple, but the elevation is high enough to keep density altitude in mind. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest airport remarks before flight.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC or published guidance says otherwise. At this non-towered airport, pilots self-announce and coordinate in the pattern. Runway 13/31 is the only runway, so pattern work centers on that strip. Keep the noise sensitive area north of the airport in mind when planning departures and downwind. The field elevation is 2,119.4 ft MSL, so the traffic pattern will sit at about 3,119.4 ft MSL when using the standard 1,000 ft AGL assumption.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
