RWY 24

Gettysburg Rgnl sits in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Field elevation is 553.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 06/24 is 3,100 ft of asphalt. That is the longest runway on the field.

There is no control tower. Clearance delivery goes through Potomac Approach. The published frequencies are 126.825 and 239.025. CTAF is 122.9. The runway lights on 06/24 are medium intensity and are activated by CTAF. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern around 1,553 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Blouch Aircraft Services is on the field. It carries 100LL. Call (717) 357-5958 for current service details.

Two published notes matter on a first visit. Deer and birds are in the area. The runway 06 displaced threshold has a 26:1 approach slope ratio. The runway 24 displaced threshold has a 21:1 approach slope ratio. That is a good reminder to fly the published approach path and stay sharp on short final. This is a non-towered field with Potomac handling the clearance side, so brief your arrival early and verify current procedures before you go.
