Frank Sikes Airport sits in Luverne, Alabama. Field elevation is 302 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 04/22 is 4,649 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published, so plan for VFR only. The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Frank Sikes Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve 100LL is available. The airport uses CTAF 122.8 and UNICOM 122.8. Published remarks note widespread cracking on the runway surface. They also note that the first 750 ft of runway 04 and the first 875 ft of runway 22 are unlighted. Low intensity runway lights are activated on CTAF. That matters if you are planning a night arrival.
This is a VFR-only field. Runway 22 has a 480 ft MSL water tower south of the runway. The published approach ratios also show displaced threshold considerations on both ends. If you are new to the airport, brief the runway condition before arrival and check current lighting status. For clearance delivery, contact Cairns Approach. When Cairns Approach is closed, contact Jacksonville ARTCC.
