Genesee County Airport (KGVQ) sits in Batavia, New York. Field elevation is 913.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 10/28. The longest runway is 5,499 ft of asphalt. The airport is not towered. Use CTAF 122.7 for local traffic calls. The published ILS is for runway 28. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Genesee County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours attendant service, the published remarks say to call 585-344-8532 during attendant hours. A call-in fee applies. Runway lighting is well covered. Runway 28 has MALSR. Runway 10 has REIL. PAPI is available on both ends. High intensity runway lights are installed on 10/28.
This is a non-towered field with Rochester approach and departure services on 123.7 and 322.3. Clearance delivery is on 121.8. Runway 10 has a 5-foot berm north of the runway and an 8-foot fence off the departure end area to the right. That makes a careful look at the departure path smart, especially if you are new to the airport.
