COSTIN (A51) sits in Port St Joe, Florida. Field elevation is 13 ft MSL. The airport has no listed runways in the provided facts, so confirm the current runway layout and surface condition before you go. It is a non-towered field. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight.
The published remarks matter here. The airport is for VFR use only. There are obstacle clearance notes for the runway 18 and runway 36 approaches. Runways 18 and 36 are marked with white PVC pipes. A water-filled ditch sits 60 feet west of the runway. The south 1,000 feet of the runway surface is soft and sandy. The north 1,000 feet is also soft and sandy. No touch-and-go landings are permitted. A 550-foot radio tower is located 1.5 miles north of the airport.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current airport services. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Tyndall Approach when available, or Jacksonville ARTCC when approach is closed. This is a small VFR field with surface and obstacle issues that deserve a careful preflight and a conservative plan.
