Cook County Airport sits in Adel, Georgia. The field elevation is 235.2 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 5,502 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. For IFR work, clearance delivery goes through Valdosta Approach. When Approach is closed, contact Jacksonville ARTCC. UNICOM is unmonitored, so do not expect a staffed advisory frequency on the field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

Cook County Airport is home to Cook County Airport FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (229) 896-3858 before arrival. Published remarks also note PAPI and medium intensity runway lights on runways 05 and 23. Those lights are controlled by CTAF. There are also published obstruction notes near the runway ends. Runway 05 has a plowed field close off the departure end with possible farm equipment. Runways 15 and 33 have displaced threshold approach ratios published, so review the current Chart Supplement before you plan a short-field arrival or departure.

For a first-time pilot, the main things to watch are the non-towered pattern, the published obstructions and the lack of ILS. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
