Northfield (N09) sits in Thomaston, Connecticut. The field elevation is 903 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the provided facts. This is a helicopter site, so plan your arrival around the published helipad remarks rather than runway use.

There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The Chart Supplement notes VFR only, so this is not a place to plan an IFR arrival. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that matches your aircraft and the current local procedure. For this field that works out to about 1,903 ft MSL.

The published remarks matter here. Bradley Approach handles clearances at 860-386-3597. The recommended approach is from north to south. There is a 30-foot power line 282 feet east of the helipad. There are also 57-foot trees 475 feet from the center of the helipad with an 8:1 approach ratio. The helicopter physical location is 253 Newton Road, Northfield, Connecticut. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
