Hartford-Brainard is in Hartford, Connecticut. Field elevation is 18.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 02/20 at 4,417 ft. The tower is open 0600 to 0000. One ILS is published for runway 02. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Hartford Jet Center is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call them at (860) 548-9334 for current service details. The airport sits on the west side of the river. It is about 1 mile east-northeast of Hartford on the east side of the river. Published remarks also call out several obstructions near the runway ends. Runway 20 has a berm near the approach end. Runway 02 has a small ground obstruction off the right side. Runway 20 PAPI is unusable beyond 7 degrees left of centerline.
This field is closed to aircraft operations. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before planning any arrival. There is also voluntary quiet time for touch-and-goes and practice instrument work overnight. Business, corporate and revenue-producing aircraft are subject to a landing fee. For a first-time pilot, the big items are the published closure, the towered environment and the nearby river setting. Verify any operational details with the airport operator before you go.
