Mount Airy/Surry County Airport sits in Mount Airy, North Carolina. Field elevation is 1,268.9 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 5,500 ft long, so it gives light aircraft a solid margin, though the published remarks call out steep drop-offs near the runway edges and near the thresholds. Runway 36 also slopes uphill 34 ft, so plan for that on landing and departure.
This is a non-towered field. Airport attendance is from 0800 until the earlier of 1800 local or sunset. After-hours service is available and posted on the phone box. No ILS approaches are published, so check the current FAA Chart Supplement for the latest approach and procedure details before you go. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or current chart data say otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Mount Airy/Surry County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Runway end identifier lights are on both ends. PAPI is also installed on runways 18 and 36. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 18/36 and are controlled by CTAF. For clearance delivery, Greensboro Approach is listed in the remarks. First-time pilots should pay close attention to the terrain and runway edge drop-offs here, especially if arriving at night or in marginal visibility.
