Philippi/Barbour County Regional Airport sits in Philippi, West Virginia. The field elevation is 1,755.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 3,275 ft long on asphalt. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 2,755 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF is 122.9. Approach and departure service is with Clarksburg on 121.15 and 284.65. The airport is fenced. The vehicle gate is locked. Access is through the pedestrian gate only.
The on-field FBO is Philippi-Barbour County Regional Airport. It carries 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours. Published remarks matter here. Runway 26 has a steep drop-off near the threshold. Runway 08 has trees close to the approach end and more drop-off beyond the threshold. Wildlife is also reported in the area. Lighting is available from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF to activate the runway end identifier lights, the PAPI and the medium intensity runway lights. This is a small non-towered field with terrain and obstacle awareness that deserves a careful arrival brief.
