Fine Art Print: 8 x 10, 16 x 20, and 24 x 30 inches.

Made like something you keep.

The field itself

This is Charlottesville's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Charlottesville-Albemarle Airport Runway Diagram Print

Charlottesville-Albemarle works off a single runway, 3/21, 6,801 by 150 feet of asphalt at an elevation of 640 feet. That one strip is the whole composition. It runs corner to corner across the sheet as a solid dark bar, thresholds numbered 3 at the lower left and 21 at the upper right, with a taxiway shadowing it in pale gray and a handful of connectors stitching the two together. Everything built sits on one side: apron, terminal block, hangar rows, all clustered along the middle and lower third. The rest of the page is quiet.

The field opened in 1955, serving the Central Virginia and Shenandoah Valley region, and sits eight miles north of the city in Albemarle County. It has kept growing in small increments rather than sprawling: a runway extension project wrapped up in 2012, and in 2023 the airfield lighting was swapped over to LED. In 2020, general aviation accounted for the largest share of the traffic here, which is roughly what the diagram suggests when you look at the amount of ramp and hangar space packed against one flank of the runway. One more detail worth knowing: an old white oak stands at the southernmost point of airport property, along the approach to Runway 3, and it is listed in the Remarkable Trees of Virginia Program.

As art, a single-runway field lives or dies on the angle, and this one is generous. The bar tilts steeply up and to the right, which gives the print a sense of motion that a horizontal strip never gets, and it hangs well in a narrow vertical space where a busier field would turn to mush. Geometry is plotted from published airport information and the ident block carries the coordinates and field elevation, so it reads correctly to a pilot and still reads as line and negative space to everyone else. Depending on the colorway you choose, it can sit quietly in a hallway or anchor a wall. If you are assembling a Virginia set, the same treatment exists for Richmond and for Lynchburg.

Charlottesville (CHO) print, common questions

How many runways does Charlottesville-Albemarle have?

One. Runway 3/21 measures 6,801 by 150 feet with an asphalt surface, and it is the only runway on the print, drawn as a single diagonal strip.

How long is the runway and how high is the field?

The runway is 6,801 feet long and 150 feet wide, and the field elevation is 640 feet. Both the elevation and the coordinates are printed in the ident block.

Where is CHO?

Near 38.1396 N, 78.4523 W in Virginia, eight miles north of the city in Albemarle County. CHO is the identifier the airport goes by, and it is the code set in large type on the print.

How accurate is the layout on this print?

It is plotted from published airport information for the current charting cycle, so runway orientation, proportions and the taxiway and apron arrangement follow the published diagram. It is a print, not a chart: fine details may be simplified or omitted, and it is not for navigation.

What sizes and finishes are available?

Several standard sizes in the same vertical proportion, as a Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print or Glossy Metal Print (Digital Download available separately). A long diagonal like 3/21 holds up well at larger sizes because there is real space around the runway.

Does this work as a gift?

It lands well for anyone with a connection to Charlottesville: a pilot who trained here, someone who flew in and out for years, a graduate, a family that keeps coming back. Every print is made to order and ships free within the US.
