New Bedford Rgnl sits in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Field elevation is 79.1 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,400 ft on runway 05/23. The tower is open daily from 0630 to 2200. Runway 05 has the field's ILS approach. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a busy coastal field with published bird and wildlife activity in and around the airport. That matters on departure and on short final. Runway 05/23 is not available for certain Part 121 and Part 380 passenger operations. Runway 14/32 has the same restriction. Landing fees apply to aircraft over 3,000 lb. Taxiways A1 and A2 are for aircraft rescue only. When the tower is closed, runway lighting is activated on CTAF. The PAPI on runways 14, 23 and 32 operates 24 hours.
Colonial Air and Nor East Aviation Services are on the field. Both carry 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are planning a larger aircraft or an unusual operation, call the airport manager before you go. The published remarks also note a 50:1 approach slope issue near the displaced threshold of runway 23. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any local procedures before arrival.
