RWY 18

Charleston Muni sits in Charleston, Mississippi at 175 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,000 ft of asphalt. The field is non-towered, so use CTAF 122.9 for local traffic calls. No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

A few published remarks matter here. There is a 7-foot wildlife fence 197 feet from the departure end of runway 18. It crosses the centerline. Pilots also need to provide their own tiedown ropes. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC using the published phone numbers in the Chart Supplement. There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts, so verify fuel and service availability with the airport operator or by calling the field before you go.

For a first-time arrival, the main things are simple. Plan for a short, single-runway stop with no tower and no published ILS. Check the current Chart Supplement for any special agreement details before departure. Watch the runway 18 end closely because of the fence near the threshold. Keep your calls tight on CTAF and be ready to self-announce in a quiet pattern.
