Cortland County/Chase Fld (N03) sits in Cortland, New York. Field elevation is 1,197.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 3,401 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field is served by CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. For clearance delivery, Syracuse Approach is the published contact. The airport sits in a part of upstate New York where winter weather can matter. Snow removal is done during the day only, so plan arrivals with that in mind if conditions are marginal.
Cortland County Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. Runway 24 has REILs. Runways 06 and 24 have PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights are on both ends. Taxiway lights are controlled by the CTAF. First-time visitors should also watch for geese and gulls in spring and fall. The airport is unattended on holidays. For other hours, call the airport manager before you go.
