Chester Airport is in Chester, Connecticut. The field elevation is 416 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 2,722 ft long. There is no control tower. The rotating beacon runs 24 hours a day. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. For IFR work, plan around the current published procedures and coordinate with New York Approach if needed. The airport has published frequencies for New York Approach and Departure on 124.075 and 343.65. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725.
Chester Charter is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-service 100LL is available with credit card. Published remarks also note non-standard medium intensity runway lighting on 17/35. The displaced threshold on Runway 17 is marked but not lighted. There are published obstructions near both ends. Runway 17 has a 5-foot tree 56 feet from the runway and 60 feet left. Runway 35 has a 3-foot brush obstruction at the threshold area, 103 feet right. The airport sits in a low-elevation Connecticut setting. The main pilot concerns are runway length, obstacle awareness and using current published data before arrival.
