Great Valley Airport (N56) is in Great Valley, New York. The field elevation is 1,450 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 3,200 ft long with a turf-dirt surface, so plan for soft-field performance and check braking action before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a daylight operations only airport. The runway has low intensity lighting that is not standard. It is activated via CTAF. Published remarks also note runway overrun areas of 200 ft at the south end and 400 ft at the north end. Hangars south of the runway are lighted for night operations if IFR is not being conducted.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival if you need local services. For runway conditions from November through April, call the airport manager. If you need clearance delivery, contact Cleveland ARTCC at 440-774-0227. With a 1,450 ft elevation and a turf-dirt strip, density altitude and surface condition deserve attention, especially on warm days or after wet weather.
