Johnston Regional Airport sits in Smithfield, North Carolina. Field elevation is 164 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 03/21, which is 5,500 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is 1,035 ft AGL, which is 1,199 ft MSL.
Runway 03 has an ILS approach. The field uses CTAF 122.725. Raleigh Approach handles approach and departure on 125.3 and 353.675. Johnston Regional Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO at (919) 934-0992 for current service details.
A few published remarks matter here. Runway 03 has MALSR lighting. Runway 21 has runway end identifier lights. PAPI runs continuously on both ends. Taxiway lights are controlled by CTAF. The airport also has a 150 ft stopway on both ends of runway 03/21. Noise abatement is a real factor here. Avoid overflights of the housing area in the pattern. Fly a wider downwind and longer departure legs. Helicopter training also happens in the area. Watch the south ramp and corporate hangar when taxiing.
