Capital City Airport is in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 346.7 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 5,000 ft. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2100. Runway 08 has an ILS approach. Pattern altitude is 1,500 ft AGL, which is 1,846.7 ft MSL for conventional traffic patterns.
Skyport Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport sits in a busy part of central Pennsylvania. Published remarks call out high terrain south of runway 12/30. They also warn that crews have mistaken Middletown’s runway 13/31 for Capital City’s runway 12/30. Middletown is 4 NM west, which makes a careful cross-check on arrival and departure important. Runway 08 PAPI is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of course. When the tower is closed, use the published lighting procedures and contact Harrisburg Approach for clearance delivery if needed. Bird activity is also noted on and near the airport.
