Jimmy Carter Rgnl sits in Americus, Georgia. Field elevation is 468.4 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,011 ft on 05/23. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered traffic on CTAF 122.8 and use standard self-announce procedures.
The field has one ILS approach to runway 23. Runway 05/23 also has high intensity lighting. PAPI is installed on both runway 05 and runway 23. Runway 23 also has a medium intensity approach lighting system with sequenced flashing lights that is activated by CTAF. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Souther Field Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Call (229) 924-2813 for current service details before you go. Atlanta Approach handles clearance delivery at 678-364-6132. Wildlife activity is reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. This field also has ground school only available, which is useful context if you are expecting broader training services.
