Franklinton Airport (2R7) sits in Franklinton, Louisiana. Field elevation is 175 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 13/31, which is 3,000 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway headings are 131° and 311° magnetic. Published remarks show the runway lighting is set to low intensity by default. You can increase it by keying the CTAF. The airport lighting is out of service, so this is VFR only. Runway 13 REILs and PAPI are out of service. Runway 31 REILs and PAPI are also out of service. Markings on both ends are chipped and faded.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport manager for designated ramp space for public use before you go. For clearance delivery, Houston ARTCC is listed in the remarks. A golf course sits about 0.25 miles north of the airport, so keep that in mind on departure and arrival.
