McLaughlin Airport sits in Chester, Virginia. Field elevation is 7 ft MSL. This is an uncontrolled field with no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No runways are listed in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before planning a landing. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that matches current local guidance. Check the current Chart Supplement for the exact airspace letter before you go. The published remarks also say to contact Potomac Approach at 866-640-4124 for clearance delivery. That is the number to use if you need a clearance on the way in.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. For a first-time arrival, the main thing to verify is runway status, airspace and any local procedures before departure. This field is low elevation, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. The bigger planning item is making sure you have current airport data before you launch.
