Eagle's Nest Estates Airport (T56) is in Midlothian, Texas. Field elevation is 780 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 3,216 ft long with a concrete surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.975. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local guidance or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at 1,780 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway lighting needs attention here. The published remarks say to activate runway lights for all operations because there is no line of sight between runway ends. Threshold strobes are marked. Medium intensity runway lights, runway end identifier lights and triple runway lights are activated on 122.975.
This field also has several obstacle notes. Runway 17 has poles, a fence, a road and other obstacle clearance concerns near the displaced threshold. Runway 35 has trees close to the runway edge. The airport name and CTAF are marked on the runway. There are no on-field FBOs listed. Verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For clearance delivery, contact Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584. First-time pilots should plan for an uncontrolled field with lighting procedures and obstacle awareness on both ends.
