JAARS-TOWNSEND is in Waxhaw, North Carolina. The field elevation is 602 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 3,309 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator gives you different guidance. The airport sits in the Charlotte area, so expect to work with Charlotte Approach for clearance delivery. The published remarks also note that transient traffic is not allowed to use the grass practice areas. Only JAARS pilots are permitted to use non-standard patterns for training.
Runway 04/22 has low intensity lighting that is activated by CTAF. The runway also has a 20 ft downslope between the ends. Published remarks call out trees and fence obstructions near both ends. Deer are also reported on and near the airport. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current service details before you go.
