Okolona Muni / Richard Stovall Fld sits in Okolona, Mississippi. Field elevation is 337 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,197 ft long with asphalt surface. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless local procedures say otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. That makes current weather and a good scan of the runway environment more important on arrival. The runway lights for 18/36 are medium intensity and are activated by the CTAF. The field also has abrupt terrain drop-offs about 200 ft from both runway ends. That is worth having in mind on takeoff and landing.

Okolona Municipal Airport is on the field and carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card. Pilots should bring their own tiedown ropes. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC. The airport is in a non-towered environment, so monitor CTAF 122.9 and make standard position calls. If you need current local operating details, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.

Frequently asked questions

What is the runway length at 5A4 and can a light airplane use it?

5A4 has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,197 ft long and asphalt. That is enough for many light piston operations. Performance still depends on weight, temperature, wind and density altitude.

Does Okolona Muni have a tower?

No. 5A4 is non-towered, so pilots use CTAF 122.9 for self-announced traffic calls and normal see-and-avoid procedures.

What is the pattern altitude at 5A4?

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Are there any ILS approaches at Okolona Muni?

No ILS approaches are published for 5A4. Plan with current weather and the available non-precision options in the current FAA Chart Supplement.

Which fuel is available on the field at 5A4?

Okolona Municipal Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card.

How do you turn on the runway lights at 5A4?

Runway 18/36 has medium intensity lighting. The lights are activated by the CTAF.

Is there anything unusual about the runway at Okolona Muni?

Yes. The published remarks say the terrain drops off abruptly about 200 ft from both ends of runway 18/36. That is a good reason to stay sharp on glidepath and climb performance.

Who do I contact for clearance delivery at 5A4?
