Carroll County Rgnl/Jack B Poage Fld sits in Westminster, Maryland. Field elevation is 789.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 16/34, at 5,100 ft. There is no control tower. Potomac Approach handles the area on 125.525 and 291.625 MHz. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is 810 ft AGL for fixed-wing aircraft. That puts the fixed-wing pattern at 1,599.2 ft MSL. Turboprop and jet traffic uses 1,310 ft AGL. The field is on the higher side for the region. Plan for a little more density altitude than you would at a low coastal airport, especially on warm days.
PILATUS, formerly Skytech, is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve 100LL is available with credit card. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 16 and 34. Medium intensity runway lights are on the runway. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. The airport also has wildlife in and around the field. One published note says the PAPI for runway 16 is unusable beyond 5 degrees right of centerline. First-time arrivals should brief that before final.
