Norwood Memorial Airport sits in Norwood, Massachusetts, southwest of Boston. Field elevation is 49.2 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 4,007 ft. Runway 10/28 is 3,995 ft.
This is a towered airport. The tower is open 0700-2000 local from 1 Nov to 30 Apr. It is open 0700-2200 local from 1 May to 31 Oct. An ILS is available to runway 35. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is often used. Confirm before departure.
Boston Executive is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. FlightLevel Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The field has published noise limits. Aircraft above the listed noise thresholds are not allowed to use the airport. There are also taxiway wingspan limits at Gate 2 and Gate 3. A snow removal building sits by the south apron. Bird activity is also noted, so expect a careful scan on taxi, takeoff and final. When the tower is closed, use CTAF to activate runway 35 MALSR. Use it for the PAPIs on 10, 17 and 35. Use it for the MIRLs on 17 and 35.
