Ozark/Blackwell Fld sits in Ozark, Alabama. The field elevation is 357.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 5,152 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston pilots should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Approach and departure service is on 125.4 or 327.125 with Cairns. The on-field FBO is Ozark/Blackwell Field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. After-hours service is available by phone. Avgas 24-hour credit card service is also published.
A few operational items matter here. Low-flying helicopter traffic can be in the pattern. Runway 13/31 is closed to skid-equipped helicopter landings. Pilots departing VFR to the east or north should stay at 1,500 ft MSL or below until about 5 NM from the airport to avoid conflict with IFR traffic into Dothan. Runway 13 has cataloged obstructions that exceed a 45 degree slope. The runway has REILs, PAPI and medium intensity lighting controlled by CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Cairns Approach. If approach is closed, use Jacksonville ARTCC.
