Allan C Perkinson/Blackstone AAF is in Blackstone, Virginia. The field elevation is 437.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 5,333 ft long and paved concrete. The tower is open Monday through Friday from 1300 to 2100Z, except federal holidays. It can also be open by NOTAM. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Partner Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (434) 292-4914 for current service details.

A few operational notes matter here. Runway 22 markings are in poor condition. The displaced threshold and hold short line are also hard to see. There is an obstacle clearance slope at the displaced threshold for 22. Wildlife is a factor too. Deer and bird activity has been reported. Jet and military training also happens within 20 NM, with C130 traffic and parachute drops expected. When the tower is closed, use CTAF 134.7 to activate the medium intensity runway lights on 04/22. For current permission and field status, contact the base operations numbers in the Chart Supplement before arrival.
