Lake Cumberland Rgnl sits in Somerset, Kentucky. The field elevation is 927.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 5,801 ft long and asphalt. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. The published ILS is for runway 05.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,927.3 ft MSL. The on-field FBO is Lake Cumberland Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (606) 679-7908 for current services.
A few published remarks matter here. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI are installed on both runway ends. Medium intensity runway lighting is controlled on CTAF. The airport also notes ARFF equipment is available on request. The field is closed to unscheduled air carrier operations with more than 30 passenger seats. For clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC. The runway 05 and 23 approach slope notes also suggest you should pay attention to threshold and approach path clearance on both ends. Check the current Chart Supplement before arrival for any local operating notes.
