Bradford Regional Airport is in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 2,143.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 6,307 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF and UNICOM use on 123.075.
One ILS is published here for runway 32. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Bradford Regional Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call ahead at (814) 368-5928 if you need current service details.
The airport sits in a higher-elevation part of Pennsylvania, so performance planning matters. Published remarks also note deer and birds in the area. The field is unattended. No snow removal is available daily from 2000 to 0700. Runway 32 has an unmonitored medium intensity approach lighting system with runway alignment indicator lights. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. Clearance delivery is handled through Cleveland ARTCC. If you are bringing in a larger unscheduled flight with more than 30 passenger seats, prior permission is required 24 hours ahead.
