Butler Muni sits in Butler, Georgia. The field elevation is 667 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 5,002 ft asphalt. Runway 06/24 is 2,405 ft turf. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 1,667 ft MSL.
No ILS approaches are published here. Clearance delivery goes through Atlanta Approach. Atlanta ARTCC is used when Approach is closed. CTAF is 122.9. The published lighting note matters at night. Medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 run from dusk to 2400 local. After 2400, you activate them on CTAF. The PAPI on 01 and 19 runs continuously.
There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Plan to verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before arrival. Runway 06 has a published obstacle note. There is a tree on the approach path near the displaced threshold. The turf runway also has inground concrete pads marking the ends and edges. For a first-time arrival, the main things are the non-towered setup, the Atlanta Approach handoff and the runway 06 obstruction note.
