Mount Pleasant/Scottdale Airport (P45) sits in Mount Pleasant, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 1,160 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is Runway 06/24 at 2,037 ft. Runway 14/32 is 1,625 ft. This is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published, so plan for VFR only. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Ultralight traffic uses a 500 ft AGL right pattern on all runways.

The published remarks matter here. Runway 14 has a displaced threshold because of the approach slope. Runway 32 has trees close in on final with another displaced threshold. Both turf runways are marked with yellow cones. The surfaces are rolling. Runways are not maintained during winter months. Seasonal crops are around the airport. There is also extensive helicopter activity at the adjacent heliport, so keep your scan active in the pattern and on taxi. For clearance delivery, contact Johnstown Approach at 814-532-5960. When Approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC at 440-774-0213. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before arrival.

Frequently asked questions

What is the pattern altitude at P45?

The facts do not publish a standard pattern altitude for P45. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Ultralights use 500 ft AGL right traffic on all runways.

Is P45 a towered airport?

No. P45 is non-towered. Use CTAF 122.9 for self-announced traffic calls and keep a close watch for other aircraft, ultralights and helicopters.

Does P45 have any ILS approaches?

No ILS approaches are published for P45. Treat it as a VFR field and verify current approach options in the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.

What is the longest runway at P45?

Runway 06/24 is the longest runway at 2,037 ft. It is turf, like Runway 14/32. Performance and surface condition matter more than the published length alone.

Are there runway obstructions at P45?

Yes. Runway 14 has a displaced threshold because of the approach slope. Runway 32 has trees close to the threshold on final with a displaced threshold as well.

Are the runways at P45 maintained in winter?

No. The published remarks say the runways are not maintained during winter months. Check current field conditions with the airport operator before you launch.

Which runway should I expect to use at P45?

That depends on wind, turf condition and the published obstructions. Runways 06/24 and 14/32 are both marked with yellow cones. Plan for a visual arrival and verify the surface before landing.

Is there fuel or an FBO on the field at P45?

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current service availability.
