Clinton County Airport Шаблон:Airport codes is a former county-owned public-use airport in Clinton County, New York, United States. It is located Шаблон:Convert west of the central business district of the city of Plattsburgh.[1] It served Plattsburgh and the western side of Lake Champlain.

Clinton County transitioned to using the nearby Plattsburgh International Airport (Шаблон:Coord) as the primary airport for the region on June 18, 2007, and Clinton County Airport is now officially closed to itinerant aircraft, though it is still used for paradrops, and a few aircraft are still based there.

As per Federal Aviation Administration records, the airport had 1,712 passenger boardings (enplanements) in calendar year 2004 and 1,747 enplanements in 2005.[2] According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2007–2011, Clinton County was categorized as a general aviation airport because the commercial service category required at least 2,500 passenger boardings per year.[3]

In 1972, a FB-111A Aardvark landed at the airport after the pilot mistook the runway for the airport as being the nearby Plattsburgh Air Force Base.[4]

Facilities and aircraft

Clinton County Airport covers an area of Шаблон:Convert at an elevation of Шаблон:Convert above mean sea level.[1] It has two runways; the primary instrument runway is runway 1-19. An instrument landing system is installed on the north-facing runway 1. Runway 1 is also equipped with a medium intensity approach lighting system. A VOR is located on the field and provides a non-precision instrument approach to runway 19. Both runway 1-19 and runway 14-32 are Шаблон:Convert in length and Шаблон:Convert wide. The landing threshold to runway 19 is displaced Шаблон:Convert for landing due to trees north of the airport. A third, east-west runway, now abandoned, existed during the 1980s.

For the 12-month period ending October 24, 2006, the airport had 14,150 aircraft operations, an average of 38 per day: 78% general aviation and 22% air taxi. At that time there were 30 aircraft based at this airport: 83% single-engine, 13% multi-engine and 3% jet.[1]
