Mississippi County Airport sits in Charleston, Missouri. Field elevation is 313 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,196 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is not a busy metro airport, but you should still expect local traffic. Ultralights and crop dusters operate on and near the airport. Clearance delivery for IFR departures goes through Memphis ARTCC by phone.
Published remarks matter here. Runway end identifier lights are active. Medium intensity runway edge lights are installed on 18/36. The visual glide slope indicators are out of service indefinitely. Runway 18 and Runway 36 markings are faded. There is also a small tree near the Runway 18 threshold. Runway 18/36 has incorrect threshold light counts at each end. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and service options with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
