KBGM is in Binghamton, New York. The field elevation is 1,635.6 ft MSL. There are two asphalt runways. The longest is 7,305 ft on runway 16/34. Runway 10/28 is 5,001 ft. The tower is open 0600-0000. Two ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 2,435.6 ft MSL.
BGM Aviation Services is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call 607-763-4474 for service or after-hours arrangements. The published remarks matter here. Bird activity is reported on and near the airport. Glider activity is also noted 10 NM southwest of the field. LED approach lighting is in use on runways 16 and 34, which matters for EFVS work. The airport beacon runs from dusk to dawn.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the runway and tower notes. Takeoffs and landings on runway 10 are not authorized when the tower is closed. The tower cannot see the hard surface south of the FBO hangar. Holding position signs for runway 16/34 are placed after the hold line, so keep the aircraft fully behind the line when holding. This is a customs user fee airport. There is also a landing fee for multi-engine and turbine aircraft over 4,000 lb. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
