RWY 17

Cannon Fld sits near Somerset, Texas. Field elevation is 610 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 2,790 ft long and turf. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local traffic or ATC says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. The runway can be soft when wet. Call for field conditions before you go. Runway 17 and Runway 35 have displaced thresholds marked with white painted barrels. The southern half of the runway has rough edges. Rolling terrain runs the full length of the strip. A 4-foot fence sits right of centerline at both displaced thresholds. There is also a marked 30-foot power line 500 feet north of the Runway 17 end.

This field also sits close enough to SKF traffic that VFR operations and traffic should remain at 1,000 feet AGL or 1,600 feet MSL or lower to stay clear of that IFR traffic. Wildlife is present on and near the airport. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so contact the airport operator or call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current services before arrival. For clearance delivery, San Antonio Approach is listed at 210-805-5516.
