Harriman-and-West is in North Adams, Massachusetts. Field elevation is 653.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 4,300 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery is handled through Albany Approach. The published frequencies are 132.825 and 307.2 for APCH/P DEP/P. CTAF and UNICOM are both on 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has two on-field FBOs. Turboprop East carries Jet A Prist. North Adams carries 100LL. Contact them directly for current services before you go.
This is a glider-active airport. Published remarks say glider and tow-plane traffic use right traffic for runway 29 and runway 11. Powered aircraft use left traffic on runway 11 and right traffic on runway 29. The Chart Supplement also notes wildlife on and near the airport. Mountain terrain is close by in several directions. Runway 29 also has a displaced-threshold approach note, so plan your descent and final carefully. Medium intensity runway lights on 11/29 are activated by CTAF.
