Runway 03 has the published ILS approach. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field sits near Pittsburgh Class B airspace. Verify your routing and clearances before arrival. The airport also has published notes that matter on arrival. Birds and deer are reported on and near the field. Near runway 03 there is brush close to the threshold area. Near runway 21 there are obstructions close in, including a building, a fence and a tree. Runway 34 has a PAPI listed as out of service indefinitely. Runway 34 REILs are also out of service indefinitely.
Wheeling Ohio County Airport has one on-field FBO. Wheeling Ohio County Airport carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call the FBO directly at (304) 277-3499 for current service details. When the tower is closed, published lighting procedures apply for the runway and taxiway lights. If you are new to the field, brief the runway 03 and 21 ends carefully. The published obstructions and wildlife make a normal stabilized approach even more important.
