Griffiss Intl sits in Rome, New York. Field elevation is 504 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 11,820 ft long, which gives you plenty of pavement for most operations. The tower is open 0700-2100. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 118.1 and expect the published lighting setup on runway 33. The field has one ILS approach. It serves runway 33.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard traffic pattern planning for light piston aircraft at 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Million Air Rome is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport also publishes a calm wind runway for 33. That matters if the wind is light or variable. Military assault and priority markings are also on both runway ends. The published remarks call out a clear 20 to 1 approach and departure path for VFR use. Pay attention to that on arrival and departure.
This is a controlled field with a long runway and active military markings. Portions of the apron are not visible from the tower. There is also a bird alert in the warmer and migration seasons. If you are bringing a large aircraft, note that prior permission is required 24 hours in advance for operations with more than 30 passenger seats. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
