Fairfield County Airport (KLHQ) is in Lancaster, Ohio. The field elevation is 868.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 10/28 is 5,003 ft long with asphalt pavement. No tower is published, so expect non-towered operations on CTAF 122.725. The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on CTAF. PAPI is available on both runway ends. The calm wind runway is 28. A 5 ft berm sits 160 ft from the threshold and 110 ft right of runway 10, so give that end a close look on arrival and departure. Wildlife is also a factor here. Deer, birds and other traffic have been reported on and near the airport.
Sundowner Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (740) 475-8188 for current service details. Prior coordination is required for transient hangar. The airport is unattended on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Extensive flight training occurs here, so expect active pattern traffic and stay sharp on radio calls.
