RWY 27

Thayer Meml Airport (42M) sits in Thayer, Missouri. The field elevation is 808 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 09/27 is 4,200 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 09/27 has nonstandard low intensity runway lights. To turn them on, key 122.9 five times. The rotating beacon is out of service indefinitely. The runway ends also have close-in brush, fences and uneven terrain. Runway 27 has a fence near the end. Runway 09 has brush and uneven ground near the departure end.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan to verify fuel, services and any local operating details with the airport operator or by calling the field on CTAF before arrival. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC at the published phone numbers in the Chart Supplement. Expect a quiet non-towered field with wildlife and edge hazards that deserve a careful stabilized approach and a good look at the runway environment before landing.
