Frequently asked questions
What is the runway length available at 09GE?
Elliott Field (09GE) has a single paved runway, 14/32, measuring 5,619 feet long and 40 feet wide with an asphalt surface. This is also the airport's max paved distance figure, meaning no other runway offers a longer takeoff or landing roll. The runway width of 40 feet is narrower than many business jets typically prefer, so crews should confirm their aircraft's runway width requirements before planning operations here. There is no tower at the field, so all runway use is coordinated through non-towered procedures.
Are there approach obstacles to plan around at Elliott Field?
Yes, Elliott Field (09GE) has documented close-in obstructions on the runway approach. A road crosses the approach as close as 15 feet from the runway end, offset 200 feet right, and trees up to 38 feet tall stand 146 feet from the runway end. Additional trees 32 feet tall are located 101 feet from the runway end, 192 feet right, and a separate cluster of trees as close as 130 feet from the end lies 160 feet left. Crews should review these obstacle clearances carefully when planning approach and departure paths at this non-towered field.
Is there a grade change on the runway at 09GE?
Yes, Elliott Field (09GE) reports a runway grade change greater than 2 percent slope on the approach end of Runway 32. This is noted as a general remark in the airport's operational data and affects the landing profile on that runway end specifically. Pilots planning to land on Runway 32 should account for this slope when calculating landing distance and approach angle. No corresponding grade note is given for the Runway 14 approach end.
What is the pavement condition on the runway at Elliott Field?
Elliott Field (09GE) has recorded failed pavement areas along the southwest edge of its runway. This condition remark applies to the single paved runway, 14/32, an asphalt surface measuring 5,619 feet by 40 feet. Operators should factor this pavement condition into their assessment of the runway edge margins, particularly for wider aircraft operating near the stated 40-foot width. No other pavement condition remarks are noted for this field.
How does business aviation traffic vary by season at 09GE?
Business aviation traffic at Elliott Field (09GE) is not evenly spread across the year. According to FAA TFMSC data for 2025, monthly business aviation operations ranged from a low of 23 in February to a high of 75 in September. Traffic builds steadily from the winter months, climbs through summer, and peaks in September and October before tapering off into November. Of the airport's 593 total annual operations, 544 are attributed to business aviation, making seasonal patterns in bizav activity a strong driver of overall field usage.
