Russell County Airport sits in Jamestown, Kentucky at 1,010.3 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 5,010 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.
No ILS approaches are published here. The field is set up for VFR use only. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The runway lighting setup is useful to know. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 17 and 35. PAPI is also installed on both ends. Medium intensity runway lights are on runway 17/35 and are controlled by the common traffic advisory frequency.
Russell County Airport is home to Russell County Airport FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours a day with a credit card. One operational note matters here. Clear a 20 to 1 approach slope for each runway. A drag strip sits about 1 mile northeast and may be mistaken for the runway. For clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC at 317-247-2411. The airport is in a non-towered environment, so keep your radio calls tight and watch for local traffic.
