Wrens Meml Airport (65J) sits in Wrens, Georgia. Field elevation is 450 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 11/29 is 3,000 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a light piston pilot should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. This is a VFR-only field. The published remarks also note runway lighting on 11/29 is activated by the common traffic advisory frequency. That matters after dark because you need to key the radio to turn the lights on.

The published remarks list obstructions near both runway ends. Runway 11 has a road beyond the departure end plus low ground obstructions near the right side close to the threshold. Runway 29 has a low ground obstruction near the left side close to the threshold. That makes a careful look at the runway environment smart on arrival and departure. There are no on-field FBOs listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before you go. The airport manager is the city administrator. For clearance delivery, contact Augusta Approach. When Augusta Approach is closed, contact Atlanta ARTCC.
