Western Carolina Rgnl is in Andrews, North Carolina. The field elevation is 1,698.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 08/26, which is 5,500 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in high terrain. That matters here. Expect density altitude to be a factor, especially on warm days and at this elevation. The airport is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 4 degrees Celsius.
Western Carolina Regional Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A Prist. Taxiways are unlighted. Runway 08 has published terrain and obstruction issues near the threshold. Runway 26 also has terrain limits on the PAPI. Low flying military jet traffic may overfly the airport. Medium intensity runway lights operate from sunset to sunrise. Use CTAF to increase intensity or to activate the runway end identifier lights on runway 08. The airport is unattended on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day. For any current operational detail not listed here, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before departure.
