Columbia County Airport is a small un-towered general aviation airport in the Hudson Valley of New York.
In a 12 month period ending on June 29, 2007, the airport averaged 53 movements a day.[2]
Final approach for runway for runway 21 is directly over a golf course immediately to the north, and pilots should take on arrival and departure to avoid golfers. There has been at least one incident of a golfer intentionally hitting a landing aircraft with a golf ball.
Departure path for runway 3 takes the pilot over homes. Pilots should be mindful of noise, especially at night.
There is a police shooting range approximately 1 mile to the east, so gunshot sounds are not uncommon.
