Tri Cities Exec/Dinwiddie County Airport is in Petersburg, Virginia. Field elevation is 192.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 5,002 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 992.7 ft MSL.
The field has 1 ILS approach. It serves runway 05. That makes the 05 end the one to study closely if you are planning an instrument arrival. The airport sits in Potomac Approach airspace coverage. CTAF and UNICOM are both on 122.7. Magnetic variation is 8°. The published remarks also note an activated approach lighting system on runway 05, runway end identifier lights on runway 23, PAPI on both ends and medium intensity runway lights on 05/23. Use CTAF for the lighting system.
Dinwiddie County Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-service 100LL is available after hours. The published remarks also mention ultralight activity on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan in the pattern and on taxi. If you need a clearance delivery backup, the Chart Supplement notes a ground communications outlet on 135.075 through Potomac Approach. Helicopter traffic uses the apron area and nearby helipads, so expect mixed operations on the field.
