Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport sits in Charlottesville, Virginia. The field elevation is 640.1 ft MSL. It has one asphalt runway, 03/21, which is 6,801 ft long. The control tower is open from 0600 to 2300. Runway 03 has the ILS approach. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you need fuel or ramp details, call them directly before arrival. When the tower is closed, the runway and taxiway lights are preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to bring up the MALSR for runway 03. Use it for the REIL on runway 21 too. That matters after hours.
A few remarks matter for planning. Runway 21 is unusable beyond 6.5 degrees left of centerline. There is also a lighted equipment box rack near the runway 21 end. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. For clearance delivery when the tower is closed, contact Potomac Approach. This is a busy controlled field, so get current airspace and any local procedures from the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
