Charles W Baker Airport is in Millington, Tennessee. The field elevation is 246.8 ft MSL. It has two paved runways. The longest is 3,499 ft. Runway 18U/36U is listed at 1,600 ft, but it is closed indefinitely. A power line is marked with orange balls near the 36U end, so pay close attention if you are operating near that side of the airport.
The airport is unattended on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is VFR only. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. For this field, that puts the light piston pattern near 1,247 ft MSL.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Memphis Approach handles departure and approach services. The published remarks say to contact Memphis Approach at 901-842-8457 for clearance delivery. The on-field FBO is Charles W. Baker Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. If you are planning a first visit, verify current airport status and any local operating notes with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
