Morehead-Rowan County Clyde A Thomas Rgnl sits in Morehead, Kentucky at 1,028.4 ft MSL. It has one runway, 02/20, which is 5,500 ft long and paved with asphalt. The field is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. No ILS approaches are published here. The runway lighting is pilot-controlled on 122.7. REILs and PAPI are available for both runway ends.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,028.4 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The runway 02 end has a published obstruction note. The controlling obstruction exceeds a 45 degree slope at that end, so plan your arrival with that in mind.
Holley Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel service is available 24 hours a day with credit card. For clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC at 317-247-2411. If you need airport management, the published manager numbers are in the Chart Supplement. First-time arrivals should review the current notes before coming in, since the field has no tower and runway 02 has the obstruction note near the threshold.
