Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport (KGFL) is in Glens Falls, New York. Field elevation is 328.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 5,000 ft. Runway 12/30 is 3,999 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF and UNICOM self-announce traffic. The published ILS is for runway 01. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Rich Air is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours aircraft maintenance help, the published number is the same one listed for Rich Air. The airport remarks call out birds and deer in the area. Ultralight activity is also noted on and near the field. There is a noise sensitive area 1.5 miles north. Use NBAA noise abatement procedures. Touch-and-go work is recommended to be avoided from 2200Z to 1200Z. Runway 12 and runway 19 approaches are obscured from one another by high ground, so plan your traffic flow with that in mind.
This is an uncontrolled airport with published approach frequencies through Albany Approach. Clearance delivery is also handled through Albany Approach. The field sits in a terrain-influenced area, so brief your arrival and departure paths carefully. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
