RWY 24

MID-STATE is in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 1,948 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 16/34 at 5,711 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here. For a light piston, the pattern altitude is not published in the source data. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

This is a field where runway condition matters. The published remarks say the asphalt is crumbling at the 16/34 intersection. That can mean potholes and FOD. Markings on all runway ends are extremely faded. Runway 24 is also closed for night visual approach because of obstructions. Medium intensity runway lights on both runways are activated by CTAF.

Expect heavy glider activity during daylight hours at all altitudes on and near the airport. The activity extends within 15 NM east and south of the field. Airport access is limited. Call the manager at 814-342-1080 before you go. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or on CTAF before arrival. The airport sits in central Pennsylvania terrain, so plan your descent and arrival with the elevation in mind.
