RWY 23

Pierson Muni is in Pierson, Florida. The field elevation is 63 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 2,600 ft of turf, so plan for soft-field technique and a longer landing roll than you would expect on pavement. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in a low-elevation area in north Florida. That means weather and surface conditions matter more than altitude performance, but the runway can still get soft after heavy rain. The Chart Supplement notes boundary markers made of yellow cones on both ends of the runway. It also says to use the center 60 feet because the outer edges ride rough. There are 30-foot trees near the runway centerline along the full length of 05/23. A 95-foot antenna sits about 1,900 feet from the runway end on the 05 side. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field directly before you go. For IFR clearance delivery or IFR cancel, contact DAB Approach at 386-226-3939.
