Bellefonte Airport sits in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 1,071.5 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 07/25 is 3,632 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published.
Pattern altitude is 1,029 ft AGL, which works out to 2,100.5 ft MSL. That matters here because the traffic mix is not simple. Published remarks call out heavy glider activity in daylight within 10 NM of the airport, especially along the ridge 1 NM west and north of the field. Ultralights are also on and in the vicinity of the airport. Helicopters are required to use the fixed-wing traffic pattern.
Pleasant Valley Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours service, use the phone numbers in the Chart Supplement or call the FBO directly. Runway 25 has PAPI. Low-intensity runway lights for 07/25 are activated on 122.7. The airport beacon is also activated on 122.7. Runway 25 threshold lights sit 43 ft past the threshold marking. Runway markings on both ends are extremely faded, so plan for a careful visual setup. The airport is near University Park Class D airspace. Contact University Park tower on 128.475 before entering that airspace.
