Rankin Airport (49F) sits in Rankin, Texas. The field elevation is 2,543 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 3,000 ft long with a gravel-dirt surface. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light-piston pattern at about 3,543 ft MSL. The published remarks matter here. The runway is rough and uneven. Vegetation and thorns are reported along the strip. The runway is not marked and the usable runway area can be hard to pick out from the field. A ditch crosses the north end of the runway. The airport gate is locked. For access, call the sheriff’s office before you go in.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on self-briefing and getting current field access details before departure. For clearance delivery, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. This is a high-elevation West Texas field, so expect performance to change with temperature and density altitude. Verify the current Chart Supplement before flying in.
