Gilliam - Mc Connell Airfield (BQ1) is in Carthage, North Carolina. The field elevation is 445 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the facts provided, so verify the current runway layout before you go. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement for the correct traffic pattern entry and any local procedures. The published remarks show active construction and residential use on and near the airport. Vehicle traffic also crosses aircraft movement areas. That makes a careful taxi and landing scan important on every arrival.
The remarks also note tall trees north, south and east of the airport. Runway 31 has multiple tree obstructions near the threshold area. Runway 13 also has tree obstructions near the threshold. Right traffic is published for runway 31. Helicopters should use the grass area southeast of the compass rose adjacent to the north side of runway 31. Check for hangar availability with the airport operator. For clearance delivery, contact Washington ARTCC at 703-771-3587. The day phone is 910-695-5216.
