Macon County Airport is in Franklin, North Carolina. The field elevation is 2,033.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 07/25, which is 5,002 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is 780 ft AGL, which is 2,813.9 ft MSL. Macon Air is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours self-service with a credit card. Airfield service is listed from 0800 to 1830, excluding holidays. The airport is in the mountains. Published remarks call out rapidly rising terrain in all quadrants. That matters on departure and arrival, especially when density altitude is high.
There are a few runway notes to plan around. Runway 07 has trees and a small hill near the departure end. Runway 25 has a fence and brush near the threshold. Both PAPI systems are out of service indefinitely. Medium intensity runway lights and the PAPIs are listed as operating from dusk to dawn, with intensity increased by using CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692. This is also a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 11 degrees Celsius.
