Bay Minette Muni sits in Bay Minette, Alabama. Field elevation is 248.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 08/26 is 5,500 ft asphalt. That is the longest runway on the field. The airport is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Approach and departure service is through Mobile on 118.5 or 269.3 when available. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. PAPI is active on both runway ends. Medium intensity runway lights are also on 08 and 26. Use CTAF for lighting. Baldwin Aviation is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours by self-service. Jet A fuel service is available from 0800 to 1700. Call the FBO at (251) 937-2900 before you go if you need service.
One published remark matters for the rollout. Runway 26 has severely faded identification and touchdown markings. Clearance delivery goes through Mobile Approach at 251-662-6236. When approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. This is a non-towered field with simple runway layout. The main thing to brief is the lighting. Brief the faded markings on 26. You will be working CTAF for local traffic.
