MEML FLD is in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Field elevation is 540.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 6,595 ft. This is an uncontrolled field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There is one ILS approach on runway 05. That matters here because runway 05 also has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights. Runway 05/23 has high intensity runway lights. Runway 13/31 has medium intensity runway lights. The published remarks also note that the PAPI on runway 23 is unusable beyond 6 degrees right of centerline. Keep that in mind if you are planning a visual to 23.
Hot Springs Memorial Field is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For fuel after hours, the published remark gives a phone number to call. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC. If you need that service, verify the current procedure before departure. With two runways and a published ILS, this is a practical stop for piston and turbine traffic. Still brief the lighting, runway 23 PAPI note and current remarks before arrival.
