RWY 13

MC KINLEY FLD (T30) sits in Pearsall, Texas at 586.4 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 5,027 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has one on-field FBO, McKinley Aerial Service. It carries JET_A_PRIST. If you need anything beyond that, call the FBO directly before departure.

A few published remarks matter here. Runway 13 and runway 31 both have faded markings. Runway 13 has nonstandard low intensity lighting with lights set close to the edge and spaced widely. Runway 31 has a displaced-threshold approach note with a road near the approach path. Gross weight is established on 13/31. Clearance delivery is handled through Houston ARTCC. For a first-time arrival, treat this as a non-towered field with published runway and approach caveats. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go, especially if you are planning a night arrival or a heavier aircraft.
