RWY 13

Cairo-Grady County Airport sits in Cairo, Georgia. Field elevation is 263.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 4,000 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic flow on CTAF 122.7. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston planning unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. No ILS approaches are published here. This is a VFR-only field, so plan accordingly.

The on-field FBOs are Plane Cents Aero Services and Precision Aviation. Both carry 100LL. Fuel is available during attended hours. The runway lighting and PAPI on 13 and 31 operate continuously from dusk to 0000. After 0000, activate them by CTAF. That matters if you are planning a late arrival.

For IFR-style coordination or clearances, the published remarks point pilots to Tallahassee Approach at 850-942-8311. When approach is closed, contact Jacksonville ARTCC at 904-845-1592. First-time pilots should expect a quiet non-towered airport with straightforward pavement, but still verify current procedures in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go.
