Franklin County State Airport sits in Highgate, Vermont. The field elevation is 227.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 4,001 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. Traffic pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The airport is served by Burlington Approach for clearance delivery and approach control when that service is open. If approach is closed, Boston ARTCC handles clearance delivery. Border Air is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours.
A few operational details matter here. Runway end identifier lights for 18 and 36 come on from dusk to dawn. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. The PAPI for runway 36 operates continuously. Runway conditions are not maintained when the airport is unattended. Birds are reported in the vicinity, so keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival. The pavement classification rating is 200/F/C/X/T. For a first visit, plan for an uncontrolled field with published lighting and local traffic on CTAF 122.8 or UNICOM 122.8.
