Brandywine Rgnl sits in West Chester, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 464.6 ft MSL. It has one runway, 09/27, which is 3,347 ft long. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
New Brandywine Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The remarks also note a ramp fee or fuel charge, so plan on checking with the FBO before you arrive. After-hours service is available by phone. Runway 27 is listed as the calm wind runway. The PAPI is operational on both runway ends.
This is a busy local airport with Philadelphia Approach handling clearance delivery and approach or departure services. The runway has a full-length parallel taxiway south of it. There is also a published caution about birds and deer in the area. Runway 27 has an obstacle note beyond the departure end, so pay attention to the departure path and stay alert on rollout. If you are flying in for the first time, brief the noise abatement on runway 27. Depart straight ahead to 1,300 ft MSL before turning on course.
