Tarboro-Edgecombe Airport sits in Tarboro, North Carolina. Field elevation is 52.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27, which is 3,999 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway lighting is useful for night work. Runway 27 has REIL. PAPI is available on both runways. MIRLs are on 09 and 27 and are controlled by CTAF.
For fuel, self-service 100LL is available 24 hours with a credit card. No on-field FBOs are listed. First-time pilots should pay attention to the published runway 09 obstruction notes. The approach slope is affected by a road near the threshold. Runway 27 also has a reported safety area with surface variations and a drop-off beyond the edge. Deer are reported on and near the airport. There is also a low-level military route 3 miles northeast of the field, so keep a sharp scan in the area. For clearance delivery, contact Washington ARTCC at 703-771-3587.
