Washington County Airport (8WC) sits in Potosi, Missouri. The field elevation is 959.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 4,000 ft asphalt, so that is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. For runway 02, use right traffic. Do not overfly the prison area. Wildlife is reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on arrival and departure. Medium intensity runway lights for 02/20 are activated by CTAF.
Washington County Airport is on the field and carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet-A. The published remarks say 24-hour sunset service for both fuels is on the south apron. Clearance delivery is handled through Kansas City ARTCC at 913-254-8508. The pavement is rated for aircraft under 12,500 pounds. For a first-time stop, plan for an uncontrolled airport with local traffic on 123.0. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go.
