RWY 36

Cherry Ridge is in Honesdale, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 1,357 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36, which is 2,986 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery is handled by Wilkes-Barre Approach at 570-655-2084. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, standard pattern planning would be 1,000 ft AGL unless the current published data says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival in lower weather. The field sits in a higher-elevation part of Pennsylvania. Performance planning should account for density altitude, runway length and the displaced-threshold obstacle notes on both ends. The published remarks call out approach ratios to the displaced thresholds on runway 36 and runway 18. Review those before arrival.

Earlynn Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. With one runway and no tower, expect self-announce traffic and keep your scan tight in the pattern. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go.
