New Castle Muni sits in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 1,072.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 3,995 ft. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Haski Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Call them at (724) 652-5546 before you go if you need current service details. Runway end identifier lights are installed on runways 05 and 23. PAPI is published for runways 05, 13 and 23. Medium intensity runway lights are on 05/23. They are controlled by CTAF.
This is an uncontrolled field with Youngstown Approach handling clearance delivery by phone when needed. If approach is closed, Cleveland ARTCC is the backup contact listed in the remarks. Deer are reported on and near the airport, so plan for a careful scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. There are also 20-foot trees near the departure end of runway 23, close enough to matter on a short or heavy takeoff. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or operational notes before flying in.
