A few local items matter here. Avoid flying over the elementary school at the departure end of runway 30. Runway 04/22 is reported rough with loose stones. Wildlife is a real factor too. Expect deer and geese near the airport and on the runways. Runway 12/30 has medium intensity lights. PAPI is available for runway 30. For clearance delivery, contact Providence Approach. When Approach is closed, use Boston ARTCC. Helicopters should avoid densely populated areas west and south of the airport.
