Approach and departure services are handled through Mobile. For clearance delivery, contact Mobile Approach. When approach is closed, contact Houston Center. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with the current chart and your own weather minimums in mind.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card service. The field has medium intensity runway lights on 06/24. They are activated by using CTAF 122.9. The airport manager is the Mobile Airport Authority. This is a small non-towered field, so expect self-announce traffic and keep a close scan on CTAF. If you are coming in at night or in low visibility, verify lighting and current airport status before launch. The airport was built before 1959, so expect a simple layout rather than a modern towered-field setup.
