Chester County G O Carlson Airport is in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. The field elevation is 660.2 ft MSL. KMQS has one runway, 11/29, which is 5,400 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise.
The airport has one ILS approach to runway 29. That makes the westbound end the one to study if you are planning an instrument arrival. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Philadelphia Approach handles approach and departure on 124.35 and 319.15. Clearance delivery is 125.6. For clearance delivery by phone, the Chart Supplement lists Philadelphia Approach at 800-354-9884.
Signature Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours service, the published remarks point pilots to 610-384-9000. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport manager before arrival if you need the local procedure. Be alert for helicopter activity south and southwest of runway 11. The field also has bird and deer activity in the area. A 164-foot water tower sits near the runway 11 end. The runway 11 visual glide slope indicator is unusable more than 6 degrees left of course.
