Trenton-Robbinsville Airport sits in Robbinsville, New Jersey. Field elevation is 118 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 4,275 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

The on-field FBO is Trenton-Robbinsville Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available on the mid-field apron. The runway lights on 11/29 are medium intensity and are activated on 123.3. McGuire Approach handles clearance delivery. Published remarks also call out runway and pavement cracking, so expect a rougher surface than a freshly paved field.

There are a few operational items worth planning for. Runway 29 has a road close off the departure end with vehicles crossing near the centerline. Runway 11 has a displaced-threshold slope note. For VFR departure on runway 29, climb straight ahead to 700 ft AGL before turning for noise abatement. For runway 11 departures, avoid overflying Sharon Elementary School northeast of the field. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. The wind indicator is out of service indefinitely, so verify winds before you commit to the landing or departure.
