Apalachicola Regional-Cleve Randolph Field is in Apalachicola, Florida. The field elevation is 19.6 ft MSL. It has three concrete runways. The longest is 14/32 at 5,425 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston traffic should plan for the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. That matters if you are planning an IFR arrival in lower weather. The airport sits close to the coast. Expect a low-elevation, sea-level environment with little room for error if winds shift or ceilings come down. Published remarks also note unlighted obstructions on the approaches to runways 06, 18 and 24. Runway 36 has a published displaced-threshold approach ratio note. Check the current Chart Supplement before you go.
Centric Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Medium intensity runway lights are on 06/24 and 14/32. They are controlled by CTAF. PAPI is available on 06, 24, 14 and 32. For clearance delivery, contact Tyndall Approach. If approach is closed, use Jacksonville ARTCC. This is a good airport to brief carefully before arrival. Especially if you are new to the area or planning a night landing.
