RWY 18

Carlisle Muni sits in Carlisle, Arkansas. Field elevation is 240.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 4,501 ft. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. 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. The field is served by Carlisle Municipal Airport on the field. It carries self-serve 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. PAPI is active on both runways. Medium intensity runway lights are also installed on 09/27 and 18/36, which helps for night work. Runway 18 markings are faded, so plan your rollout and taxi with that in mind.

This is an uncontrolled field with year-round agriculture activity nearby. Expect ag traffic in the area. Migratory birds are also reported from November to March. For clearance delivery when you cannot get it by frequency, contact Little Rock Approach or Little Rock Air Traffic Control Tower directly. The airport sits in low terrain, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Good traffic scanning and runway alignment are the bigger concerns here.
