Mercer County Airport (KBLF) sits in Bluefield, West Virginia. Field elevation is 2,856.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 4,743 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.9 for traffic calls and taxiway lighting control. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This field has one ILS approach to runway 23. That matters here because the airport sits high enough that performance planning should be part of the preflight. The published remarks also note steep drop-offs near both runway ends. Runway 05 has trees off the right side near the departure end. Runway 23 has trees right at the end. Deer and birds are also reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on short final and in the pattern.
Mercer County Airport Authority is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Twenty-four hour self-serve 100LL is available. Truck fuel is also available during attended hours or by prior arrangement. The airport manager is the contact for fixed-wing repair requests. Mowing runs from April through November on all surfaces.
