DeFuniak Springs Airport sits in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Field elevation is 289.1 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 09/27 at 4,146 ft. Runway 18/36 is 2,700 ft of dirt. This is a non-towered field. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. Approach and departure support is on the Eglin frequencies listed in the Chart Supplement. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the traffic pattern at about 1,289 ft MSL based on the field elevation. The airport is VFR only. The published remarks also note 24-hour fuel with credit card service. On the field, DeFuniak Springs Airport carries 100LL and Jet A Prist.
There are a few things to brief before arrival. Runway 09 has a fence and a public road close to the approach end. Runway 27 has a displaced-threshold approach slope note. White PVC markers are placed every 200 feet on runways 18 and 36. PAPI is available on 09 and 27. Medium intensity runway lights are on 09/27 and are controlled by CTAF. Trees also block line of sight between some runway ends, so plan your taxi and runway checks with that in mind.
