Mid-Carolina Regional Airport sits in Salisbury, North Carolina. Field elevation is 772.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 5,501 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. The published pattern altitude is not given, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you fly. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 20. Runway 20 also has MALSR, REIL and PAPI. Runway 02 has REIL and PAPI.
The on-field FBO is Mid-Carolina Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead if you need service. Published remarks say operations run from 1200 to 2030 Zulu Monday through Friday except holidays. They also note limited parking ramp access. That ramp is closed to all traffic except military aircraft with prior permission. The main terminal apron grass area by the fuel pumps is closed to helicopters. Be alert for military rotor wing traffic, range ramp activity west of the runway and skydiving operations over the field. Do not overfly the airport during jump activity.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the military activity, the published runway 02 obstruction notes and the fact that runway lights are controlled by CTAF. Contact the airport operator or the FBO directly before arrival if you need current access details or after-hours service.
