}}Pennridge Airport {{airport codes||KCKZ|CKZ{{nobold|, formerly}} N70}} is a public-use airport located one nautical mile (1.85 km) north of the central business district of Perkasie in East Rockhill Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States.[1] It is privately owned by Pennridge Development Ent., Inc.[1]

The airport is located on top of a ridge and is surrounded on every side by trees. Although the daily operations are under 100 takeoffs/landings, it is the largest privately owned airport between Philadelphia and Allentown.[2]

Although most U.S. airports use the same three-letter location identifier for the FAA and IATA, this airport is assigned CKZ by the FAA but has no designation from the IATA[3] (which assigned CKZ to Çanakkale Airport in Çanakkale, Turkey[4]).

History

The airport has been in place in Perkasie since January 23, 1966,[5] but when Byrant Aviation took over in 1968 the activity increased rapidly. In 1981, Andrew Deutsch, a nearby resident, bought the airport to save it from turning into a housing development. For a brief period in the late 1980s, a landing fee of $5-6 was charged to pilots.[6]

On November 1, 2008, John McCain made a stop at Pennridge Airport during his 2008 campaign. About 6,000 people attended the rally.

Facilities and aircraft

Pennridge Airport covers an area of {{convert|270|acre|ha|lk=on}} at an elevation of 568 feet (173 m) above mean sea level. It has one runway designated 8/26 with an asphalt surface measuring 4,215 by 100 feet (1,285 x 30 m).[1]

For the 12-month period ending November 25, 2008, the airport had 29,635 aircraft operations, an average of 81 per day: 99% general aviation and 1% military. At that time there were 42 aircraft based at this airport: 86% single-engine, 12% multi-engine and 2% jet.[1]
