Middlesboro/Bell County Airport (1A6) sits in Middlesboro, Kentucky. The field elevation is 1,154.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 3,633 ft long and asphalt. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The traffic pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Middlesboro-Bell County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (606) 242-3134 before arrival if you need current service details.
A few operational items matter here. Daylight operations only are published for runway 10/28. Runway markings on both ends are faded and covered with algae. Ultralight activity is on and near the airport. Trees on both sides of the runway also penetrate the transitional surfaces. Runway 10 has a displaced-threshold approach slope note. Runway 28 has a similar note. The field is also listed as a cold temperature airport, so altitude correction is required at or below minus 13 degrees Celsius. Large aircraft may need to back taxi because the taxiways are narrow. If you need clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC at 317-247-2411.
