RWY 19

Shelburne Airport (VT8) is in Shelburne, Vermont. The field elevation is 325 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 3,077 ft of turf, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,325 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport remarks say operations are restricted to small aircraft only and VFR only. That matters here. This is not a place to plan an IFR arrival.

The published remarks also call out rough runway surface in the first 200 feet at each end. There is no line of sight between runway ends. A 70 foot pole sits mid-field, 200 feet east of the runway centerline. There is also a cataloged obstruction that exceeds a 45 degree slope at the runway 01 end. For clearance delivery, contact Burlington Approach at 802-657-4413. When approach is closed, contact Boston ARTCC at 603-879-6859. If you are planning a first visit, review the current FAA Chart Supplement and be ready for a short turf field with limited visibility between ends.
