McCharen Fld sits in West Point, Mississippi. Field elevation is 205.2 ft MSL. The airport has one asphalt runway, 18/36, at 3,850 ft. It is an untowered field. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. For radio work, CTAF is 122.9. Approach and departure services are listed on 135.6 and 323.275 through Columbus. For clearance delivery, pilots are told to contact Columbus Approach. When that is closed, Memphis ARTCC handles it. The field also has 24-hour 100LL service with credit card use through McCharen Field. JET-A Prist is also listed on field. A courtesy car is available. Pilots need to bring their own tiedown ropes.
This is a field where the runway environment matters. Trees sit near runway 36. There is also a 4-foot fence 200 feet from the end of runway 36. Runway 18 has faded markings. The approach slope from the displaced threshold on runway 18 is 24 to 1. There is also a railroad 50 feet from the end of runway 18. Lighting runs from dusk to 2200. After 2200, medium intensity runway lights on 18/36 are activated on CTAF.
