Mount Sterling/Montgomery County Airport sits in Mount Sterling, Kentucky. The field elevation is 1,019.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 5,000 ft long. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway lighting is in place on 03/21. The field also has runway end identifier lights and PAPI on both ends. That helps for night work and for getting stabilized on final.
Kentucky Airmotive is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours a day with a credit card. If you need after-hours service, the airport manager can help or you can call the number in the Chart Supplement. Lexington Approach handles the area for clearance delivery and approach services. There is also a ground communications outlet on 121.72 through Lexington clearance delivery. Watch for helicopter traffic northeast of the airport. For any current noise, curfew, or local operating notes, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
