Bridgewater Air Park is in Bridgewater, Virginia. The field elevation is 1,165 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 4,034 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. Potomac Approach handles the area. Clearance delivery is through Potomac Approach at 866-640-4124.
No ILS approaches are published here. The runway lights on 15/33 are medium intensity and are activated by the CTAF. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 2,165 ft MSL based on field elevation.
Plan for the published obstruction near runway 33. There is a 2-foot fence post 70 feet from the threshold, 27 feet right of centerline. That is a small item. It is worth keeping in mind on short final. The airport also has no on-field FBO listed, so call the airport operator or the FBO directly before arrival if you need current fuel or service details. This is a non-towered field, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.7. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published local procedures before you go.
