Republic Airport (FRG) is a medium-sized, primarily general and business aviation airport on New York’s Long Island. Located near The Village of Farmingdale, the airport is approximately 15 miles east of John F. Kennedy International Airport and approximately 15 miles west of Long Island MacArthur Airport in Islip.
Farmingdale has non-standard shaped Class Delta airspace that extends from the surface to 2,600 feet. The airspace also underlies the New York Class Bravo and is just west of the Islip Class Charlie. Pilots flying into FRG for the first time need to thoroughly understand the different requirements for operating in this complex mix of airspace.

The FAA's From the Flight Deck video series uses aircraft-mounted cameras to capture runway and taxiway footage and combines it with diagrams and visual graphics to clearly identify hot spots and other safety-sensitive items. Learn more at www.faa.gov/go/FromTheFlightDeck.
