Wright AAF (Fort Stewart)/Midcoast RGNL sits at Fort Stewart near Hinesville, Georgia. Field elevation is 46.6 ft MSL. The airport has four asphalt runways. The longest is 06L/24R at 6,500 ft. The tower is open 1230-0400Z Monday through Friday except holidays. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed. For light piston planning, use 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a military field. All civilian and transient military operations need prior permission. Base operations contact numbers are published for that purpose. The on-field FBO is Midcoast Regional Airport. It carries JET A. 100LL is not available. That matters for fuel planning before you launch.

A few field details deserve attention. Runway 15R/33L is closed indefinitely. The published remarks also say there are no overruns for 24R and 15L/33R. Taxiway A, B and C signs are removed or unserviceable. Taxiway E is permanently closed. If you are operating when the tower and Marine radio are both closed, lighting is activated on CTAF. This is a military airport with restricted area considerations. Check the current Chart Supplement and coordinate with the airport operator before arrival.

Runway 15R/33L is closed indefinitely. The remarks also say its markings are badly faded, so verify the current status before you plan to use the field.
Which FBO is on the field at KLHW?
