Bladenboro Airport (3W6) sits in Bladenboro, North Carolina. Field elevation is 116 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 2,850 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard light piston pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,116 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The runway is narrow in places. Published remarks say the usable width is 125 feet. They also call out trees near both runway ends and along both sides of the strip. Runway 02 has a drainage canal crossing ten feet south of the threshold. Runway 20 has tree obstructions close to the threshold area. Plan your arrival with those limits in mind.
No on-field FBOs are listed. Check with the airport operator or call the field directly before you go if you need fuel or local handling. The airport is a turf strip with no tower, so self-announce clearly and keep an eye on traffic. For clearance delivery, the published remark points pilots to Washington ARTCC. If you need current operational detail, use the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure.
