Westover ARB/Metro sits in Springfield/Chicopee, Massachusetts. Field elevation is 241.1 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 11,597 ft on 05/23. Tower service is published from 0700 to 2300. Two ILS approaches are available, both on runway ends 05 and 23.
Pattern altitude is published at 1,000 ft AGL for light aircraft. Large and heavy aircraft use 2,000 ft AGL. Overhead is 2,500 ft AGL. This is a joint-use airfield, so military traffic and military NOTAMs matter here. The remarks also call out IFR takeoff and landing minimums under United States Air Force regulations. That is not a normal civilian-only setup. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and current NOTAMs before you go.
Metro Air Services is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Bradley Approach. The remarks also note a beacon schedule from dusk to 2300. Airfield lights are not available from 2300 to 0700. There is also a caution about heavy VFR traffic below 10,000 ft along the river and highway southwest of the airfield. Expect a busy environment and watch for ramp and taxiway vehicle traffic.
