Cochran Airport sits in Cochran, Georgia. Field elevation is 377.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 11/29 at 4,400 ft. Runway 05/23 is 3,202 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Atlanta Approach provides approach and departure services on 124.2, 279.6 and 388.2. For clearance delivery, the published remark says to contact Atlanta Approach at 678-364-6132. If Atlanta Approach is closed, contact Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692.
The on-field FBO is Cochran Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL. Twenty-four-hour self-serve fuel is available with major credit cards. Runway 11/29 has medium intensity lights that come up in low setting at dawn and dusk unless you use CTAF to increase them. Runway 05/23 has poor pavement, nonstandard turnarounds, inadequate separation and daylight use only. That makes 11/29 the runway most pilots will want to plan around first.
