RWY 26

Pottstown Muni is in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 255.6 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 2,704 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Clearance delivery is handled through Philadelphia Approach when needed. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Morgantown Aero Corporation is on the field. It carries 100LL. The airport uses medium intensity runway lights on 08/26. Runway end identifier lights are also installed. Wildlife is present on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing.

There are a couple of things a first-time pilot should know. The approach to runway 08 has an obstruction note. The slope is 22 to 1 up to 380 ft beyond the threshold. Runway 26 also has a tree close to the departure end. The airport was built before 1959, so expect a field that has been around a long time rather than a modern layout. If you need after-hours service, contact the airport manager. For any current noise, curfew, or operational details not listed here, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
