Big Sandy Rgnl Airport is in Prestonsburg, Kentucky. The field elevation is 1,221.5 ft MSL. It has one runway, 03/21, which is 5,051 ft long. There is no control tower. Traffic uses CTAF 123.05, which is also the UNICOM frequency. No ILS approaches are published here.
The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light aircraft pattern at 2,221.5 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Cox Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For after-hours service, the published number is 606-371-3793. The airport also notes that the line transfers to Gary's cell phone.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 03 and 21. The medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. The PAPI on 03 and 21 runs continuously. The published remark also says the PAPI on runway 03 is unusable beyond 6 degrees right of centerline. Birds and deer are reported on and near the airport. For clearance delivery, contact Huntington ATC at 304-453-2490. If you need current noise or local operating guidance, check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
