Richmond Exec/Chesterfield County Airport (KFCI) sits in Richmond, Virginia at 236.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 5,500 ft long and paved with asphalt. The field is not towered. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic and verify the current pattern setup before arrival. One ILS is published for runway 33. Potomac Approach handles the listed approach and departure frequencies. For clearance delivery, the published remark directs pilots to Potomac Approach.
Vantage Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. After-hours fuel is available by phone contact, with the published numbers for the field. The remarks also note that runway lights on 15/33 are preset to low intensity. Pilots can increase intensity and activate the approach lighting system on runway 33 through the CTAF. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Medical flight operations can use irregular departure patterns. The published pattern altitude is 1,000 ft AGL for single-engine aircraft and 1,500 ft AGL for multi-engine aircraft. Helicopter parking is adjacent to taxiway C. If you are planning an instrument arrival, remember that aircraft on the ILS to Richmond International cross over the airport.
