Dawson Muni sits in Dawson, Georgia. The field elevation is 332.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 4,507 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. The runway lights for 14 and 32 are preset from dusk to 2200. After 2200, you activate them by CTAF. PAPI for both ends runs continuously.
No ILS approaches are published here. This is a VFR-only field. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Dawson Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Call (229) 995-3787 before you go if you need current service details.
For a first-time arrival, watch for birds in the area and deer on or near the airport. Clearance delivery is handled through Jacksonville ARTCC at 904-845-1592. The runway is long enough for a range of light aircraft. The lack of published ILS means you should plan for VFR conditions and keep an eye on the lighting setup if you expect a late arrival.
