Mansfield Airport (8W3) sits in Mansfield, Washington. Field elevation is 2,272 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 03/21, which is 2,575 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 3,272 ft MSL. The airport is small and simple, but the elevation is high enough to keep density altitude in mind on warm days. The published remarks also call out possible turbulence from grain elevators on the north side of the airport. The northwest parking area has a steep dropoff. Runway 03 and runway 21 markings are faded. There are no runway lights on the north side of runway end 21 to midfield. The beacon is temporarily out of service. Pilots should plan for daytime VFR use and verify any night plan with the current Chart Supplement before departure.
No on-field FBOs are listed. If you need fuel or ground handling, contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current availability. The remarks also say pilots must bring their own ropes. For clearance delivery, contact Seattle ARTCC at 253-351-3694.
