Horseshoe Bend Airport (6M2) is in Horseshoe Bend, Arkansas. Field elevation is 781.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 13/31, which is 4,502 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Horseshoe Bend Municipal. It carries 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with credit card.
This is a field where terrain matters. The remarks call out rapidly rising terrain and trees on final to runway 13. Takeoff on runway 13 is recommended because of rapidly rising terrain northwest of the airport. Deer are also reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi and in the pattern. From dusk to dawn, medium intensity runway lights are active on 13/31 and controlled by CTAF. The PAPI on runway 31 operates continuously. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC before departure if you need it.
