Isbell Fld sits in Fort Payne, Alabama. The field elevation is 876.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 04/22, which is 5,001 ft long and asphalt. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Fort Payne Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead if you need after-hours service. The published remarks also note that runway 04/22 lighting is preset to low intensity. You can increase it by keying the CTAF. REILs on both runway ends also activate on CTAF. PAPI on 04 and 22 operate continuously.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to have dialed in are the non-towered pattern work, the runway lighting setup and the lack of published ILS guidance. If you need clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement lists Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692. Check current runway and airspace details before departure, especially if you are planning a night arrival or IFR flight.
