Raleigh County Memorial Airport sits in Beckley, West Virginia. The field elevation is 2,503.8 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. Runway 01/19 is the longest at 6,750 ft. Runway 10/28 is 5,001 ft. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic flow on CTAF 123.0 or UNICOM 123.0.
The airport has one ILS approach to runway 19. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Raleigh County Memorial Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (304) 255-0476 before you go if you need current ramp or service details.
This is a higher-elevation field, so performance planning matters. The published remarks also note deer, birds and wild turkeys on or near the airport. There is a lighted obstacle near runway 28. Runway 01/19 has high-intensity runway lights. Runway 10/28 has medium-intensity runway lights. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF and PAPI is available on runways 10 and 28. If you are bringing a large unscheduled flight, prior permission is required 24 hours ahead. Check with the airport manager before arrival.
