Grand Canyon Rgnl (N38) sits in Wellsboro, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 1,891.5 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 10/28 at 3,597 ft. There is no control tower. The published approach setup does not include any ILS approaches.
For pattern work, the charted pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a higher-elevation part of north central Pennsylvania. That means density altitude deserves attention on warm days. Runway 10/28 is asphalt. Runway 11/29 is turf and is listed for day VFR only. It is also closed each year from December through April. Non-simultaneous operations are permitted on the turf strip.
Published remarks note medium intensity runway lights on 10 and 28. Runway end identifier lights are available on 28. Lighting is controlled by CTAF. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Check current fuel and service availability with the airport operator or the field directly before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact New York ARTCC. If you are planning a night or IFR arrival, verify the current Chart Supplement before departure.
