Clinton-Sampson County Airport is in Clinton, North Carolina. Field elevation is 144 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 06/24, which is 5,008 ft long. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport uses CTAF and UNICOM on 122.8. Fayetteville Approach is on 133.0 and 290.25. Magnetic variation is 9°.
Clinton Flying Service is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The FBO is managed by Jim Naylor. For after-hours airport attendant help, the published numbers are 910-592-3295 and 910-590-9100.
A first-time pilot should pay close attention to the runway end and terrain notes. Runway 24 has a 30-foot drop-off 350 feet from the threshold. There are trees near the approach end. Runway 06 has a 40-foot drop-off 325 feet from the threshold. There is also a steeper drop-off very close to the threshold on the right side. Taxiway A near runway 06 also has a significant drop-off. Runway lights, REILs and PAPI are activated by CTAF. The lighting is useful at night. The terrain and obstacle notes make a careful stabilized approach important.
