What runway should pilots expect to use in calm wind conditions at KBVY?

The airport has two paved runways: 16/34 at 5,001 feet and 09/27 at 4,755 feet, both 100 feet wide with asphalt surfaces. Pilots should also note that Runway 16/34 has a hump at its midpoint, meaning opposite runway ends are not visible from ground level at each other's threshold. This geometry is a factor for taxi and departure planning regardless of the active runway in use.
What noise abatement procedures apply at KBVY?

Aircraft exceeding 75dB are asked not to land or depart between 2300 and 0700 local.

How does business aviation traffic vary by season at KBVY?

Summer months of July, August, and September consistently post the highest volumes, each exceeding 400 operations. Winter months, particularly January and February, see roughly half that level of activity. Dispatchers scheduling summer trips into KBVY should expect a busier ramp and plan parking and ground handling accordingly.
What is the pavement condition rating for the main runway at KBVY?
The primary runway system at Beverly Regional carries a PCR value of 200/F / B/X / T, as published for KBVY. The airport's longest paved surface is Runway 16/34 at 5,001 feet, with Runway 09/27 measuring 4,755 feet, both asphalt and 100 feet wide. Operators should reference this PCR code directly against their own aircraft weight and gear configuration data when evaluating suitability. Flight condition monitoring at the field is not maintained overnight, per published hours, so current pavement status should be confirmed separately before operating outside those windows.
