RWY 13

AVA Bill Martin Memorial Airport sits in Ava, Missouri. Field elevation is 1,311 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 13/31 is 3,634 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.7. Springfield Approach is on 126.35 for approach and departure work.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or the current Chart Supplement say otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at 2,311 ft MSL based on the field elevation.

On the field, 100LL self-serve is available 24 hours with credit card payment. The airport lighting is pilot controlled. Runway 13 has a PAPI. Runway 13 and 31 have medium intensity runway lights. The lights use CTAF clicks for activation. The terminal door is also tied to the pilot controlled lighting system. Five clicks unlock it.

First-time pilots should pay close attention to the runway 13 end. Trees sit near that end, both close in and off to the sides. There is also a nonstandard runway safety area beyond runway 13 with a large drop off. That makes runway 13 the side to brief carefully before arrival or departure. The airport has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.
