Burlington/Alamance Rgnl Airport sits in Burlington, North Carolina. Field elevation is 616.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24, which is 6,406 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,616 ft MSL.
KBUY has one ILS approach. It serves runway 06. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.975. Greensboro Approach handles clearance delivery and approach or departure work on 126.6 and 327.075. SkySouth Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. The airport phone number is 336-226-3330.
A few published remarks matter here. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI for 06 and 24 are tied to CTAF. The runway lights are high intensity and can be adjusted on CTAF. Deer and waterfowl are reported in the area. Runway 06 has trees near the departure end. Runway 24 has unmarked high voltage transmission lines about 4,000 ft from the threshold on both sides of centerline. If you are planning a night or low-weather arrival, brief the ILS to 06 and review the lighting notes before you go.
