KECG is in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Field elevation is 10.6 ft MSL, so this is a low coastal airport with little elevation to work against, but the shared-use setup means you need to pay attention to local procedures. There are two runways. The longest is 10/28 at 7,219 ft. Runway 01/19 is 4,518 ft, but it is not authorized for use. The airport has a control tower. Published tower hours are 1200-0300Z++. One ILS approach is available to runway 10. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Elizabeth City Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The civil ramp is attended on a published schedule, with after-hours contact information in the Chart Supplement. Search and rescue traffic can drive unusual tower staffing, so monitor 120.5 and be ready to transmit intentions in the blind when needed. Runway 01/19 and taxiway K west of the civil ramp are closed to all operations. There are also parked aircraft and Coast Guard facilities near the movement area, so keep a sharp scan on taxi and runway edges. Seasonal low-flying agricultural aircraft are based in the area. Check the current Chart Supplement before departure for any operational updates.
