RWY 18

DeWitt Muni/Whitcomb Fld sits in De Witt, Arkansas. Field elevation is 188.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,205 ft of asphalt, with magnetic headings of 181° and 1°. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.9 for local traffic. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. For a light piston, that puts the pattern near 1,189 ft MSL based on field elevation. The field has medium intensity runway lights on 18 and 36. They are CTAF controlled. Runway end identifier lights and PAPI are also installed on both ends, which helps on night arrivals.

DeWitt Municipal Airport is on the field. It carries 100LL. Fuel is available 24 hours self-serve with credit card. If you need service after hours, the published remarks list phone numbers for help. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC before departure. This is a non-towered field with a single runway, so plan your arrival, monitor CTAF early and verify current notes in the Chart Supplement before you go.
