Chautauqua County/Jamestown Airport is in Jamestown, New York. The field elevation is 1,723.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 5,300 ft. There is no control tower. Traffic uses CTAF 122.975. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The airport has one ILS approach to runway 25. Clearance delivery goes through Buffalo Approach at 126.05. When approach is closed, use Cleveland ARTCC for clearance help. Centric Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport remarks also note that runway and taxiway conditions are not monitored outside normal attendance hours. Deer and birds are present on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival.
For a first visit, the main things to plan for are the elevation and the weather. Jamestown sits high enough that density altitude can matter on warm days. Snow removal is available during normal attendance hours. It may be limited on holidays and weekends. The airport also has ARFF index B capability. If you are bringing in a multi-engine aircraft, check the published landing fee note before you go.
