Key Takeaways:

The Carroll County Airport (4M1) Runway 25 approach is GPS-only and provides LP minimums, but lacks vertical guidance (no glideslope), classifying it as a nonprecision approach.
Pilots must be aware of a specific turn required at the Final Approach Fix (FAF) from 231 to 248 degrees, and holding at EYOWY is restricted to altitudes between 3,200 and 6,000 feet MSL.
The airport features a relatively short 3,500-foot runway equipped with Medium Intensity Runway Lighting (MIRL), Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL), and PAPI, but lacks precision approach lighting systems.
This approach is not recommended for larger or faster aircraft (Category C or D, 121 knots or more approach speed), which should consider alternative airports like Rogers (KROG) with a longer runway.
