West Memphis Muni sits in West Memphis, Arkansas. Field elevation is 212.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 17/35, at 6,003 ft. There is no control tower, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 123.05. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
One ILS approach is published for runway 17. The runway headings are magnetic. The field has a single on-field FBO, West Memphis Municipal Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours self-serve with credit card. The published remarks also say to contact Memphis Approach for clearance delivery. For after-hours service, call the airport number. A fee is charged.
A first-time pilot should pay attention to the lighting setup. Runway 17/35 uses medium intensity runway lights that start at low intensity. Use CTAF to increase intensity and to activate the approach lighting system for runway 17. Runway 35 has a PAPI. Runway end identifier lights are on runway 35 and are also activated via CTAF. This is a low-elevation field near Memphis airspace, so expect busy radio work and coordinate carefully with approach and clearance delivery as needed.
