Roy Wilcox Airport (5R1) sits in Chatom, Alabama. Field elevation is 166 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 12/30 is 4,002 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower, so plan for self-announce ops on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless current local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks also note medium intensity runway lights on 12/30 that operate from dusk to dawn. There is a displaced threshold note for runway 12, so pay attention to the available landing distance on that end. Deer are reported on and near the runway. That is the kind of local hazard that deserves a careful scan on taxi, takeoff and final.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Fuel availability should be confirmed with the airport operator or by calling the field directly before arrival. For clearance delivery, Houston ARTCC is listed in the remarks. If you are planning IFR or a night arrival, verify the current Chart Supplement before departure. The field is small, uncontrolled and simple on paper. The main things to brief are the runway lighting, the deer hazard and the displaced-threshold note on runway 12.
