Theodore Francis Green State Airport (KPVD) serves Providence and Warwick, Rhode Island, offering a sim pilot a busy Class C field with a full ILS approach and a long primary runway suited to airline and general aviation traffic alike. Sitting close to Narragansett Bay on the edge of the Providence metropolitan area, it combines a compact GA presence with commercial jet operations.
Theodore Francis Green State Airport, known by its ICAO code KPVD, lies in Warwick, Rhode Island, just south of Providence. It is a large, Class C airport handling scheduled airline traffic alongside general aviation, which makes it a useful and instructive destination for a simulator pilot wanting to practise operating into a busier, controlled field without the scale of a major hub.
KPVD sits within Class C airspace at coordinates 41.7223 N, -71.4277 W, at a field elevation of 46 feet. It is positioned in the Providence/Warwick area of Rhode Island, close to Narragansett Bay, and is the principal airport serving the state.
The airport has three physical runways. Runway 05/23 is 7,158 feet long, hard-surfaced, lit, and served by ILS on both ends, making it the primary instrument runway. Runway 16/34 is the secondary runway, hard-surfaced and lit throughout, with an ILS available; the 34 threshold offers 6,076 feet of usable length while the 16 threshold offers 5,507 feet.
Provindence-area radio services use the following frequencies: Providence Approach/Departure on 135.4 MHz, ATIS on 124.2 MHz, Clearance Delivery on 126.65 MHz, Providence Tower on the CTAF of 120.7 MHz, Providence Ground on 121.9 MHz, and a remote Bridgeport radio outlet on 122.6 MHz. The field is equipped with ILS approaches, supporting instrument arrivals in poor weather.
KPVD operates as a large Class C airport with scheduled airline service and facilities for customs and international landing rights, alongside a general aviation presence that includes a small number of based aircraft. Prior permission is required for some general aviation operations at the field.
