Wilson's Airport (E40) is in Hickory, North Carolina. The field elevation is 985 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35. The airport is daylight use only. It is VFR only. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 17/35 is marked with yellow cones at both ends. The runway has a non-published displaced threshold. Runway 35 slopes uphill. The last half of runway 17 slopes downhill. There are unmarked power lines near the field, including lines 75 ft east of the centerline and more lines north and east of the runway. Runway 35 also has a 10 ft drop-off near the threshold on both sides of the centerline.
For departure and arrival planning, treat this as a visual-only field with terrain and obstruction awareness. The remarks also note that winds favor takeoff on runway 17 and landing on runway 35. For clearance delivery, contact Atlanta Center at 770-210-7692. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts, so contact the airport operator directly before arrival.
