Runway 04 has an ILS approach. Norfolk Approach handles clearance delivery. The published remarks matter here. Deer are on and near the airport. Parachute activity also occurs on and in the vicinity of the field. Runway 04 and 22 have active end identifier lights. High intensity runway lights on 04 and 22 are controlled by CTAF. Runway 07 markings are faded and in poor condition. Runway 25 markings are also in poor condition. A 12-foot tree sits near the runway 22 approach path.

Suffolk Executive Airport has one on-field FBO. Suffolk Executive Airport carries 100LL, Jet A, Prist and MOGAS. For a first-time arrival, plan for an uncontrolled field with local traffic on CTAF 122.7. Watch for mixed traffic, including parachute operations. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated procedures before you go.
