RWY 23

Highland County Airport sits in Hillsboro, Ohio. Field elevation is 977.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 3,520 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and your own arrival setup.

Pattern altitude is 700 ft AGL, which is 1,677.3 ft MSL. That matters here because the field is not flat country flying. The published remarks also call out trees near runway 23. Pay attention on short final and during departure planning. Deer and birds are reported on and near the airport. Keep that in mind during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Highland County Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available 24 hours a day with a credit card. The runway has medium intensity lights, runway end identifier lights on 05 and 23 and a PAPI on runway 23. If you need clearance delivery and cannot raise Flight Service, the published remark says to contact Indianapolis ARTCC. For any current procedure details or local restrictions, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly before you go.
