Frequently asked questions
What runways are available at KPSF?
Pittsfield Municipal Airport, KPSF, operates two paved asphalt runways. Runway 08/26 is the primary strip at 5,792 feet long and 101 feet wide, suitable for most business jet operations. Runway 14/32 is shorter, at 3,147 feet long and 76 feet wide. Pilots should check NOTAMs for runway 14/32, since the field notes possible changes to its length and width. Both runways are equipped with medium intensity runway lighting activated via CTAF.
Does KPSF have customs available for international arrivals?
Pittsfield Municipal Airport, KPSF, lists CBP inspection services as available onsite. This allows aircraft arriving from international points to clear customs directly at the field rather than diverting to another airport. Operators should still coordinate arrival details in advance given the airport's unattended hours outside its published schedule. The attendance schedule runs daily from 0700 to 1500 local time, which should factor into any customs planning for arrivals outside that window.
What is the seasonal traffic pattern at Pittsfield Municipal?
Business aviation traffic at Pittsfield Municipal Airport, KPSF, concentrates heavily in the summer months according to FAA TFMSC data for 2025. July recorded the highest volume at 357 operations, followed by August at 293 and June at 212. Winter months see far less activity, with February at just 65 operations and December at 93. Dispatchers planning summer trips into KPSF should anticipate noticeably higher traffic density than the rest of the year.
Are there wildlife or obstruction hazards to know about at KPSF?
Pittsfield Municipal Airport, KPSF, carries remarks noting birds and wildlife on and in the vicinity of the airport, which crews should factor into approach and departure planning. The field also reports several lighted obstruction poles surrounding the airport, including ones 0.9 nautical miles southeast at 1,960 feet and 1.7 nautical miles southwest at 2,171 feet, the latter marked out of service indefinitely. Additional poles sit to the northeast and northwest at lower heights. These fixed obstacles are a standing feature of the local environment rather than a temporary condition.
Does KPSF require any cold weather altitude corrections?
Pittsfield Municipal Airport, KPSF, is designated a cold temperature airport requiring altitude corrections at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius. Given the local climate, this is a relevant consideration during winter operations, when average daily highs drop into the 30s Fahrenheit from December through February. Crews flying published instrument approaches into KPSF during cold snaps should apply the appropriate correction to published minimum altitudes. This requirement applies regardless of the runway used for arrival or departure.
