Oswego County Airport (KFZY) is in Fulton, New York. The field elevation is 475.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is 15/33 at 5,196 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Syracuse handles approach and departure on 126.125 and 269.125. An ILS is available to runway 33.

Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,475 ft MSL here. The on-field FBO is Oswego County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call 315-591-9130 for current service details.

This field has a few operational points worth planning for. Runway 15/33 has high intensity lighting. Runway 06/24 has medium intensity lighting. The PAPI on runway 33 is controlled by CTAF and runs from sunset to sunrise at low intensity until you call up the lights. The published remarks also call out snow removal coordination from November 1 through April 1. Aircraft should contact the airport on 123.0 ten minutes before landing during those periods. Watch for frequent seagulls and Canada geese in poor weather. There is also a tower due north on the lakeshore that pilots should avoid. Runway 15 has nearby terrain and tree obstructions, so brief that approach carefully before you go in.
