Southwest Georgia Rgnl is in Albany, Georgia. The field elevation is 196.1 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 05/23 at 6,601 ft. The airport is towered from 0800 to 2000. One ILS approach is published for runway 05.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. Albany Jet Jenter is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport is operated by the Albany-Dougherty County Aviation Commission. A few operational notes matter here. Trees block tower visibility for aircraft beyond 3 NM and below 2,000 ft on approach to runway 17 from the 325 to 040 degree bearing. Low flying aircraft are reported 3 miles southeast of the airport. Runway 05/23 has a weight restriction for aircraft over 350,000 lb gross unless prior permission is obtained. When the tower is closed, lighting is activated on CTAF. The CTAF is also noted as unreliable for ground-to-ground two-way communications, so use caution and keep your calls concise.
