Center Muni is in Center, Texas. The field elevation is 318.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 5,501 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Center Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve 100LL is available. Airport services are on call by phone. The airport manager can also be reached by email.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the published runway lighting note. The medium intensity lights on 17/35 start at low intensity. You can increase them by keying the CTAF. Deer are reported on and near the airport. A careful scan on taxi, takeoff and landing is smart. Runway 17 has tree obstructions near the departure end. Runway 35 also has trees near the approach path. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go for any updated notes or local procedures.
