Roanoke/Blacksburg Rgnl (Woodrum Fld) sits in Roanoke, Virginia. Field elevation is 1,175.2 ft MSL. The airport has 2 asphalt runways. The longest is 6,800 ft on runway 06/24. The control tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 06 and 34.
Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,975.2 ft MSL. Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Transient pilots should call the FBO on UNICOM for parking and escort.
This is a terrain-sensitive airport. The published remarks say runway 34 is not authorized for departure at night or in IFR conditions. Runway 16 is not authorized for arrival at night or in IFR conditions for the same reason. The PAPI on runway 24 is unusable more than 5 degrees right of centerline because of terrain. The field is in Class C airspace. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. Cold weather performance matters here too. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 12 degrees Celsius. Birds are also reported in the area.
