Franklin County Rgnl Airport (N68) sits in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 687.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 3,300 ft long and asphalt. The field is not towered. Traffic 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. For IFR work, plan with the current approach chart set before you go. The published remarks also note that the medium intensity runway lights on 06/24 are activated by CTAF. That is useful after sunset or if you are arriving late. For clearance delivery, Harrisburg Approach is the published contact point. The airport owner contact is also listed in the Chart Supplement.
For a first-time pilot, the main things to know are simple. This is an uncontrolled field with one short-to-medium asphalt runway. Expect normal non-towered traffic flow on CTAF 122.9. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. If you are planning an IFR arrival or departure, verify the current procedures and coordination details before launch.
