Beaver County Airport sits in Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 1,252.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 10/28, which is 4,501 ft long. The airport is towered. The tower is open 0730-1930 Monday through Friday. It is closed Saturday and Sunday.
Runway 10 has the ILS approach. The published pattern altitude is not given, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,252.7 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you fly. The airport sits in the Pittsburgh area. Expect busy radio work and stay sharp on the Class B procedures nearby. Check the current Chart Supplement and the sectional or TAC if you need the airspace picture for your route.
Two FBOs are on the field. Moore Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. AirQuest Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Noise abatement applies to departures only. Call the airport manager for the current details before departure. Runway 28 also has a published tree obstruction near the end, so review the runway environment carefully if you plan to use that direction. When the tower is closed, runway and taxiway lighting stays available at low intensity. Pilots can increase the intensity and activate runway end identifier lights on CTAF. The PAPI for both runway ends operates continuously.
