Rector Airport sits in Rector, Arkansas. Field elevation is 281 ft MSL. This is a small non-towered field with no published runways listed in the facts block, so verify the current runway layout in the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if the current Chart Supplement or local guidance supports it.
CTAF is 122.9. Published remarks say the runway 18/36 lights are medium intensity and are activated by CTAF. That is useful for night or low-light arrivals. The remarks also note a 24 to 1 approach slope to the displaced threshold on runway 36. There is also a 6-foot fence 180 feet from the runway 36 threshold. Plan your approach with that in mind.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current services before arrival. For clearance delivery, Memphis ARTCC is listed in the remarks with the phone numbers provided in the Chart Supplement. This field is low elevation, but the lack of published approaches means VFR planning and a current chart review matter here.
