Terrance B Lettsome Intl sits at Road Town in the British Virgin Islands. Field elevation is 16 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 07/25, which is 4,645 ft of asphalt. The control tower is open 1100-0200Z at UTC-4. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Platinum BVI Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. That matters if you are planning a fuel stop or a mixed fleet arrival. Published remarks also flag foreign civil government landing fees and diplomatic clearance requirements. Verify those items before departure with the airport operator or the current FAA Chart Supplement. The field also has bird hazard reports. Expect to stay sharp on approach. Runway 07 and runway 25 both have PAPI. There is also a note about occasional wind shear on approach to runway 07 when winds come from the south or southeast. The beacon operates from dusk to 0200Z. For first-time arrivals, the key points are the towered environment, the short island runway and the need to confirm entry paperwork before you go.
