It is the facility's largest runway, providing pilots with more navigational measures and equipment Additionally, this is the only runway with an FAA-approved straight-in instrument approach procedure for use by pilots as they make their approaches during inclement weather conditions. In 1989, East Hampton put aside $400,000 to build a larger, 4,000-square-foot airport terminal and in 1994 the East Hampton Airport Terminal Area was built. It consisted of the terminal building and its adjacent 60,000-square-foot aircraft parking apron. The original three-runway configuration still exists today with the exception of a few modifications to the runway pavement and dimensional characteristics. For the past 70 years, the airport has adapted to industry modernization and accommodated many new generations of aircraft.
