Franklin County Airport (F53) is in Mount Vernon, Texas. The field elevation is 412.1 ft MSL. It has one runway, 13/31, which is 3,900 ft long on asphalt. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.
No ILS approaches are published here. The runway headings are 136° and 316° magnetic. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. For a light piston, standard pattern work is typically planned at 1,000 ft AGL unless published otherwise. Franklin County Airport carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A through the on-field Franklin County Airport FBO. Call (903) 767-0602 for current service details.
A published remark says to contact Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584 for clearance delivery. Another remark notes a 90-day notice is furnished to the FAA before airport activation. If you are planning a first visit, verify the current Chart Supplement for any operational notes before departure. This is a straightforward east Texas field with one runway and no tower, so standard self-announce traffic discipline matters.
