Lake Placid Airport (KLKP) sits in Lake Placid, New York. Field elevation is 1,747 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 14/32, which is 4,196 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.
Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern altitude at 2,747 ft MSL. Adirondack Flying Service is on the field. Fuel grades are not reported in the facts, so call them directly at (518) 523-2473 before you go.
The published remarks matter here. Mountains sit on both approaches within 1 to 5 miles of the runway ends. Runway 32 has an obstacle clearance slope to the displaced threshold. PAPI is on runway 14, but it is unusable beyond 3 NM. Medium intensity runway lights are on 14 and 32. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. This is also a cold temperature airport, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 31 degrees Celsius. Spring and fall can bring a lot of glider activity. If you need clearance delivery, contact Boston ARTCC. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local pattern or operational notes before you fly in.
