Dr C P Savage Sr Airport sits in Montezuma, Georgia. Field elevation is 345.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 5,003 ft of asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 122.9 for local traffic calls.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field is VFR only. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting is medium intensity. The PAPI is available for runways 18 and 36. There is also a 24 to 1 obstacle clearance slope to the displaced threshold of runway 18. Pay close attention on final.
This is a small non-towered airport with Atlanta Approach handling clearance delivery and approach or departure services. If you need clearance delivery, the published remarks direct you to Atlanta Approach at 678-364-6132. When Atlanta Approach is closed, contact Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go. For a first visit, plan for a quiet VFR arrival. Use standard non-towered procedures. Give yourself a close look at the runway environment before committing to the approach.
