Westerly State (KWST) has 2 asphalt runways. Runway 07/25 is the longest at 4,010 ft by 100 ft. Runway 14/32 is 3,960 ft by 75 ft. Field elevation is 81.1 ft MSL. No control tower is published for the field.

ILS is published for runway 07. That makes runway 07 the key instrument runway end to check in the current FAA Chart Supplement and published IAP. Runway headings are 53°/233° for 07/25 and 130°/310° for 14/32. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. The airport sits in a noise sensitive area. Populated areas to the south and west should be avoided. Pilots should review the airport manager guidance before operating there.

Wind & favored runway

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. With no control tower, pilots self-announce and coordinate in the pattern. Expect normal non-towered traffic flow unless local procedures dictate otherwise.

Noise abatement is a real factor at KWST. Populated areas to the south and west should be avoided. Keep that in mind on downwind, base and departure planning. Runway choice should also account for the published ILS on 07. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight for any local pattern guidance.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
