Raleigh East (W17) sits in Knightdale, North Carolina, east of Raleigh. Field elevation is 313 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 01/19. The published usable night length on 01/19 is 2,930 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field is VFR only. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway has nonstandard low intensity lighting. Threshold lights are white. The 19 threshold is shifted 70 ft. Edge lights sit 17 ft from the runway edge. The runway also has rolling pavement and cracks.
This is a field where obstacle awareness matters. Runway 19 has power lines about 1,000 ft from the threshold on both sides of centerline. The 19 safety area also has buildings and parked aircraft over 20 ft high. The 01 end has trees, brush and junk cars close in. There is also a 14 ft building near the 19 threshold, offset left of centerline. For clearance delivery, contact Raleigh Approach at 919-380-3144. If you are planning a night arrival or a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement. Be ready for the runway lighting and terrain notes before you go.
