RWY 23

Laurinburg/Maxton Airport (KMEB) sits in Maxton, North Carolina. The field elevation is 215.6 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 6,503 ft. Runway 13/31 is 3,536 ft and is for daylight use only. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Fayetteville Approach handles the published approach and departure frequencies.

Runway 05 has an ILS. MALSR is active on runway 05. PAPI is published for runways 05 and 23. High intensity runway lighting is on runway 05/23. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,216 ft MSL based on field elevation.

Southeast Regional Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours self-serve with credit card. There is also after-hours service contact info in the Chart Supplement. First-time visitors should pay attention to the published remarks. Farming equipment and military traffic are reported in and around the airport. Military aircraft also frequently use the closed portions of runway 13/31 and 18/36. There is no line of sight between runway ends, so get clear taxi and runway awareness before moving out.
