BEARCE is in Mount Ida, Arkansas. The field elevation is 644.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 4,000 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower, so plan for CTAF operations on 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a rural area, so watch for deer and coyotes on or near the movement area. That matters here more than it would at a busier field.

Turnage Farms is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours a day with self-service credit card access for 100LL and Jet A. The published remarks also note that runway 08 and 26 PAPI and the medium intensity runway lights are activated on CTAF. For runway 26, the approach slope to the displaced threshold is steep. The PAPI is unusable well right of centerline. For runway 08, the PAPI is unusable well left and right of centerline. If you need clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC before departure.
