Martin Campbell Fld (1A3) sits in Copperhill, Tennessee. The field elevation is 1,789 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 3,500 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Whitewater Aviation Corporation is on the field. It carries 100LL. Fuel with 24-hour credit card service is available. The airport also notes non-standard low intensity runway lighting on 02/20 that is activated by CTAF.
This is a mountain airport, so terrain matters. Published remarks call out 8,400 ft ridges in the approach area. There is also a 5,000 ft ridge along the east side of runway 20. The approach clearance slopes are tight on both ends. Wildlife is also reported in the runway area. If you are new to the field, brief the terrain, the lighting and the CTAF lighting activation before arrival. For clearance delivery, contact Atlanta ARTCC. Airframe repair is next door and available on call.
