Moore County Airport sits in Pinehurst and Southern Pines, North Carolina. Field elevation is 459.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 6,503 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 05 has an ILS approach. The airport also has MALSR lighting on runway 05. Runway end identifier lights are installed on runway 23. High intensity runway lights are installed on both ends. PAPI on 05 and 23 operates continuously. Taxiway lights operate on the CTAF frequency. Bird activity is reported from April through October, so plan for that on arrival and departure. The published remarks also say fixed wing aircraft are not authorized from any grass or turf surface.
Moore County Airport has one on-field FBO. Moore County Airport carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist availability. Noise abatement procedures are in effect. Contact the airport manager at 910-692-3212 for current guidance. Jet operations between 2300 and 0600 need 12 hours prior permission. Clearance delivery is handled through Fayetteville Approach. This is a non-towered field, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 123.05 and coordinate closely with other aircraft in the pattern.
