Westerly State Airport sits in Westerly, Rhode Island. Field elevation is 81.1 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 4,010 ft. Runway 14/32 is 3,960 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.0 for traffic calls. Be ready to work with Providence Approach on 119.45 or 319.2 when needed.
One ILS is published here. It serves runway 07. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is in a noise sensitive area. Populated areas south and west should be avoided. That matters here. Helicopter tours and banner tow ops also work the southern coast below 1,000 ft, so keep your scan sharp.
FlightLevel Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Dooney Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours. Runway 07/25 has uneven pavement about 1,000 ft from the approach end of runway 25. Runway 14 has a 22 to 1 obstacle clearance slope to a temporary displaced threshold. Runway 07 has the same note. Runway 32 has trees near the threshold. Lighting is dusk to dawn. If the airport is unattended, runway conditions may not be maintained or reported. Call Rhode Island Airport Corporation operations before you go if you need current field status.
