JB West Municipal Airport sits in Star City, Arkansas. The field elevation is 398 ft MSL. It has one runway. The longest runway is 18/36 at 3,000 ft of asphalt. The airport is not towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. With the field at 398 ft MSL, that works out to about 1,398 ft MSL. Runway 18 and runway 36 markings are reported as faded, so plan for a careful look on short final and on rollout.
Star City Municipal Airport is on the field and carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC before departure if you need IFR coordination. The airport sits in flat Arkansas terrain, so the main pilot concern is straightforward local traffic and runway identification rather than terrain. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
