Walnut Ridge Regional Airport is in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. Field elevation is 279 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 6,001 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to use CTAF 122.8 for all local traffic calls.
The field has one ILS approach to runway 18. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Walnut Ridge Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-serve fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. Full service is available from 0800 to 1700. If the airport attendant is not available, call the airport number before you arrive.
A few local items matter here. Agricultural operations occur on and near the apron through September. Migratory birds are in the area from October through January. Runway lighting is published on 04, 18 and 04/22 plus 18/36, so check the lighting setup before a night arrival. Clearance delivery goes through Memphis ARTCC. For a first-time arrival, the big items are the non-towered pattern work, the active ag traffic and the bird activity in season.
