Chatham Muni sits in Chatham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. Field elevation is 63.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24, which is 3,001 ft long. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Cape Cod Flying Circus is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (508) 945-9000 before arrival if you need current services. The airport remarks call out tree obstructions on the approach areas to runways 06 and 24. They also note noise abatement on 06/24. Use the full runway. Avoid intersection departures. Keep touch-and-go work to a minimum. Climb on runway heading until 1,100 ft over water, then proceed on course. Reduce power as soon as practical.
This is a coastal airport with bird activity in the area. The remarks also mention high-speed military jet traffic and heavy helicopter traffic near Cape Cod CGAS. For clearance delivery, Boston Approach handles it. The airport is near the National Seashore, so plan for the published minimum altitude guidance in that area. Check NOTAMs before departure. The water landing area is permanently closed.
