Edward F Knapp State Airport is a state-owned general aviation field serving Barre and Montpelier in central Vermont, sitting on high ground at 1,112 feet elevation about three miles west of the twin towns. It offers an instrument approach to its main runway and a full set of local and en-route frequencies, making it a useful stop for VFR and IFR traffic in the Green Mountains.
Edward F Knapp State Airport is a state-operated, non-towered general aviation airport serving the Barre/Montpelier area of central Vermont. It has no scheduled airline service and functions primarily as a base for local flying activity and a waypoint for cross-country pilots transiting Vermont's mountainous interior.
The airport lies about three miles west of Barre/Montpelier, Vermont, on a 259-acre site (skyvector.com). Its elevation of 1,112 feet places it well above the surrounding valley floor, a factor worth noting for density altitude and terrain awareness in the hills around Montpelier. IFR traffic in the area is worked by Boston Center on 135.7 MHz.
The airport has two physical runways. Runway 17/35 is the longer of the pair, a lit hard-surfaced runway measuring 4,974 feet available for landing on runway 17 and 4,469 feet for landing on runway 35; it is served by an ILS. Runway 05/23 is a hard-surfaced, unlit runway of 2,976 feet.
Automated weather is broadcast on ASOS 132.675 MHz. Local traffic advisories and CTAF/UNICOM calls are made on 122.8 MHz. Boston Center provides en-route air traffic control on 135.7 MHz, while Burlington Radio (flight service) can be reached on 122.6 MHz. Runway 17 is equipped with an ILS for instrument approaches.
Knapp State Airport remains a state-owned field without scheduled airline service, operating as a non-towered general aviation airport under CTAF/UNICOM procedures on 122.8 MHz. It continues to support instrument approach operations to runway 17 alongside VFR traffic using both of its runways.
