RWY 05

Wade F Maley Fld sits near Shinnston, West Virginia. The field elevation is 997 ft MSL. It has one runway, 05/23, which is 2,265 ft of turf. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits in high terrain. That matters here. There are hills and ridges in all quadrants. Runway 05 has a hill close in to the northeast. Runway 23 has a drop-off near the threshold. The published remarks also say to approach runway 23 from the northwest. Depart runway 05 to the northwest because of the ridge northeast of the airport.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on coordinating directly with the airport operator before arrival. Aircraft parking is described west of the runway centerline near the north end. Deer are present on and near the airport. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Clarksburg Approach when it is open. When approach is closed, contact Cleveland ARTCC. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go. This field has terrain, turf and close-in obstacles that deserve a careful briefing.
