Palatka Muni/Lt Kay Larkin Fld is in Palatka, Florida. Field elevation is 47.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,000 ft on runway 09/27. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic flow on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The field is VFR only per the published remarks. Runway 09 is the preferred runway. Runway 17/35 is limited to aircraft at 12,500 lb gross weight or less. Wildlife is present on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing.
Palatka Municipal Airport is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Credit card fuel is available 24 hours. Runway 09 and 27 have REILs. All four runways have PAPI. Medium intensity runway lights are on 09/27 and 17/35. For the runway 35 approach, the PAPI is unusable beyond 7 degrees left of centerline. The runway 27 approach slope to the displaced threshold is 37 to 1. If you need current operational detail, verify with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival.
