Edward F Knapp State Airport is in Barre/Montpelier, Vermont. The field elevation is 1,165.6 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 5,000 ft. Runway 05/23 is 3,001 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 17. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Vermont Flying Service is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. The UNICOM base station is not manned continuously, so plan ahead before arrival. Runway 17 has MALSR lighting. Medium intensity runway lighting is activated on runways 17 and 35 via CTAF. The published remarks also call this a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 19 degrees Celsius.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the terrain and the published obstacles. There is a tree near the displaced threshold on runway 17. There is also a tree near the displaced threshold on runway 35. Clearance delivery may require a call to Boston Center if Flight Service cannot be reached. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in for any updates on lighting, obstacles, or cold weather procedures.
