Stag Air Park, Burgaw NC

RUNWAY DESCRIPTION:  Location: N34°31.68' / W77°51.02’. Runway 11/29 measures 4,000 feet with a good turf surface 150 foot wide; field elevation is 23 feet MSL​

RUNWAY LAYOUT:  The runway crown/centerline is approximately 75 feet from the adjacent tree line. All takeoffs and landings should be conducted near the crown of the runway

• TAXIWAY LAYOUT: The parallel taxiway lies between the runway and nearby residences/buildings

• RUNWAY CLOSURE:  When necessary, closed runway ends will be marked with large “X” indicators

• HELICOPTER LANDING ZONE (LZ):  Located adjacent to the southeastern end of the main hangar unless refueling operations are underway

• DRAINAGE:  The taxiway is positioned lower than both the runway crown and adjacent residential backyards.

  • Heavy rainfall may result in puddling and soft ground, particularly at the approach end of Runway 11.

• WEATHER INFORMATION:  Current weather conditions are available at ambientweather.net by searching "Stag Air Park."

• FUEL: 100LL fuel is available

TRAFFIC PATTERN ALTITUDES:

• Airplanes: 1,020 feet MSL / 1,000 feet AGL

• Helicopters/Gyroplanes/Ultralights: 520 feet MSL / 500 feet AGL

OBSTACLES:

• Runway 11: Approach end is bordered by tall trees.

• Runway 29: The height of the tall trees located one-quarter mile along the extended centerline exceed the normal glide path height. Power lines next to road are buried

• Runway 29: Be careful of the potential truck and auto traffic along the road

• Airfield: Two tall silos are situated on the northern side of the runway near hangars. A 50-foot windsock tower stands on the north side of the taxiway.

• Airfield: Tall trees border the southern edge of the runway.

• Northern cross winds may result in turbulence near runway surface in the region of the houses.

TRAFFIC PATTERN PROCEDURES:  Standard patterns per AIM and AC 90-66B apply unless otherwise noted. Use left-hand traffic patterns for both runways.

• During calm wind conditions, use Runway 29 for both departures and arrivals.

• Operating runway selection is determined by wind direction as indicated by windsocks.

• Avoid low-level overflight of homes, buildings, or silos.

• Activate landing lights and strobes.

• Remain vigilant for aircraft operating without radios.

• Helicopters approaching the LZ or other non-runway sites must avoid fixed-wing traffic flow.

• Helicopters, gyroplanes, and ultralights utilizing the runway should adhere to standard traffic pattern procedures when possible

• Helicopter operations must avoid low level flight over parked aircraft, vehicles, and personnel.

ARRIVAL PROCEDURES:  Determine active runway by monitoring CTAF or conducting an overflight at no less than 1,520 feet MSL.

• When possible, utilize the same runway as established pattern traffic

• Standard entry is a 45-degree angle abeam the midpoint of the landing runway.

• Alternate approaches (straight-in, overhead, low approach) are permitted if clearly broadcast on CTAF, well-coordinated, and non-disruptive to existing traffic.

• Avoid entering the pattern while descending; maintain pattern altitude until abeam the departure end. Initiate base leg turn at a 45-degree offset from the approach end; final approach should be established no less than one-quarter mile from the runway threshold.

DEPARTURE PROCEDURES:  Departing aircraft are to proceed straight ahead beyond the runway departure end, then continue straight out or execute a 45-degree left turn after reaching 1,020 feet MSL.

PATTERN OPERATIONS:  Aircraft taking off or performing a go-around must continue straight ahead until passing the runway departure end and climbing above 720 feet MSL.

COMMUNICATIONS:  Utilize “STAG TRAFFIC” CTAF frequency 122.9 MHz VHF.
