Quonset State Airport sits in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. Field elevation is 18.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 7,000 ft on 16/34. Runway 05/23 is 4,000 ft. The tower is open Tue-Fri 0800-2300, Sat 0900-1700 and Sun 1000-1800. It is closed Monday and holidays. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 16. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
FlightLevel Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The published remarks also note avgas plus plus availability. If you need current fuel or ramp details, call the FBO directly. The field has a few operational items worth planning for. Runway 23 has uneven pavement about 100 to 400 ft from the threshold. Lighted cranes 125 ft high are located about 1,000 ft southeast of runway 05. There is also a military presence on the field. Transient crews should check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate early if they need access to restricted areas. The airport is close to the coast. Expect a busy local flow and stay sharp on runway alignment, especially with the towered schedule and the single ILS on 16.
