Somerset Airport (KSMQ) sits in Somerville, New Jersey. Field elevation is 106.2 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 2,739 ft asphalt. The airport is not towered. Newark Approach handles clearance delivery. Published approach frequencies are 132.8 and 379.9. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current pattern entry and traffic flow before you go. For light piston traffic, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator says otherwise. Somerset Air Service is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Runway 12/30 has medium intensity lights, PAPI and runway end identifier lights. The lighting frequency is 118.325.
A few operational notes matter here. No touch-and-go operations are permitted. The west 550 ft of runway 08/26 is unsuitable for takeoff or landing because of an uneven surface. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Runway 30 also has a displaced-threshold approach slope note in the published remarks. If you are planning a night arrival or a first visit, review the current Chart Supplement and brief the runway lighting and runway-use notes before departure.
