Fitchburg Muni (KFIT) sits in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Field elevation is 344.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 14/32, which is 5,001 ft long with asphalt pavement. It is an untowered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Boston Approach handles the published approach and departure frequencies. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 1,002 ft AGL. That puts the pattern at 1,346.5 ft MSL. The field has one on-field FBO, Fitchburg Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (978) 345-9580 for current service details before you go.
A few published remarks matter here. The airport is a cold temperature field. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport. Departing aircraft must climb to pattern altitude before turning crosswind because of a noise-sensitive area. The PAPI on runway 14 is unusable beyond 5 degrees left or right of centerline. Powered paragliders are also present. If you need clearance delivery, contact Boston Approach at 603-594-5552. First-time pilots should brief the runway, the noise-sensitive departure and the lack of published ILS before arrival.
