RWY 22

Cattaraugus County-Olean Airport sits in Olean, New York. Field elevation is 2,135.4 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is 4,800 ft asphalt runway 04/22. The other runway is 16/34 on turf at 2,117 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

Runway 22 has the published ILS approach. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Cattaraugus County-Olean Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

This is a high-elevation field with terrain dropping off on all runway ends. That matters on departure and on short final. Runway 04 has trees near the end of the runway. Runway 22 also has tree and slope notes near the displaced threshold, so review the current Chart Supplement before you go. Deer are present on and near the airport. Unmanned aircraft also operate within 1 NM of the field from the surface to 500 ft AGL. Runway 16/34 is closed during winter months and is soft in spring. Snow plowing, braking action and field condition reports are not available when the airport is unattended.
