Facilities and Aircraft
Clinton County Airport covers an area of 990 acres (400 ha) at an elevation of 371 ft (113 m) above mean sea level. 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 5,000 ft (1,500 m) in length and 100 ft (30 m) wide. The landing threshold to runway 19 is displaced 635 ft (194 m) 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.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
