Crewe Muni sits in Crewe, Virginia at 422 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 3,300 ft long and paved asphalt. The field is unattended. Contact the town manager if you need airport assistance. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting is medium intensity. Use five clicks on CTAF to turn the lights on. Use three clicks to turn them off. The published remarks also note faded markings on runway 33. They note large cracks on the runway surface. They also note poor displaced threshold markings on runway 15. Runway 15 also has rising ground off the departure end. That makes the southbound end worth a careful look before takeoff or landing.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan to self-brief from the current Chart Supplement before you go. If you need clearance delivery, Washington ARTCC is the published contact. For a first visit, pay attention to the runway condition, the displaced threshold on 15 and the terrain near the 15 end. This is a small unattended field, so a current check of the airport notes matters.
