Shannon Airport sits in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Field elevation is 85 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 06/24 at 2,902 ft on asphalt. Runway 15/33 is 1,300 ft on turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. 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. Shannon Airport is served by Shannon Airport on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (540) 373-4431 for current service details before you go.
A few runway notes matter here. Runway 33 is closed from sunset to sunrise. Runway 33 is also closed for takeoff. Runway 15 is not available for approach. Runway 06 has a PAPI out of service indefinitely. There is also a railroad obstruction near Runway 06, plus a road close to both sides of the centerline. Approaches to 06/24 are expected to stay high enough to cross Route 2 near Runway 24 or the railroad near Runway 6 at or above 135 ft MSL. If you are new to the field, brief the runway 06/24 lighting and obstruction picture before arrival.
