Glasgow Muni sits in Glasgow, Kentucky. The field elevation is 716.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 5,302 ft long on asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway end identifier lights are active on 08 and 26. Medium intensity runway lights are on 08/26 and are controlled by CTAF. That makes this a simple field to work, but you still want to brief the lighting before a night arrival.
Glasgow Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and JET A. If you need clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC. The published remarks also note a 34 to 1 approach ratio to the displaced threshold of runway 26, so pay attention on final. Turkey are reported on and near the airport. After hours contact is listed in the Chart Supplement. A first-time pilot should also verify current runway lighting and any local procedures before departure.
