Gastonia Muni (KAKH) has 1 runway. Runway 03/21 is 3,769 ft long and 100 ft wide. It has an asphalt surface. No ILS runway ends are published for this field. The airport is not towered.

The published noise abatement notes matter here. Pilots are asked to use runway 21 as the calm wind runway from 2200 to 0600. Runups should be done on the ramp, not at the runway end. The notes also say that to avoid low altitude turns to the west, clearance through Class B airspace from Charlotte Approach is required. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest airport data before flight.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise. This is an uncontrolled field, so self announce and keep the pattern tight and predictable. Runway 03/21 is the only runway, so pattern work will center on that strip. The published notes call for runway 21 as the calm wind runway from 2200 to 0600. They also call for runups on the ramp. Clearance through Class B airspace from Charlotte Approach is required to avoid low altitude turns to the west.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
