About Theodore Francis Green State Airport

Overview

Theodore Francis Green State Airport serves as a key aviation facility in Warwick, Rhode Island, located at 41.725038, -71.425668. Situated at an elevation of 55 feet mean sea level, the airport provides critical transportation infrastructure for the greater Providence metropolitan area. As a large airport, it supports commercial, general aviation, and potentially military operational needs.

Flying Conditions

The airport's elevation of 55 ft MSL suggests a relatively low-altitude environment with potentially moderate wind and weather variability. Rhode Island's coastal location can introduce maritime atmospheric conditions that pilots should anticipate, particularly during seasonal transitions. The two asphalt runways offer flexibility for different wind conditions and aircraft types.

Notable Features

Theodore Francis Green State Airport features two primary runways: Runway 05/23 at 8,700 feet and Runway 16/34 at 6,081 feet, both constructed with asphalt surface. The substantial length of the primary runway (05/23) accommodates a wide range of aircraft categories and operational requirements. Its geographic positioning provides accessibility to the Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts transportation corridors.

Approach Considerations

Runway selection will likely depend on prevailing wind directions, with the two runway orientations (05/23 and 16/34) providing crosswind landing options. The 8,700-foot primary runway offers significant operational flexibility for larger aircraft and provides ample landing and takeoff distances. Pilots should conduct standard preflight wind and weather assessments to determine the most appropriate runway for their specific approach.
