Waycross-Ware County Airport sits in Waycross, Georgia. Field elevation is 141.3 ft MSL. It has three asphalt runways. The longest is runway 01/19 at 5,992 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. One ILS approach is published for runway 19. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
The on-field FBO is Ware County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. If you need fuel after hours, the published remarks give a phone number to call. Lighting is on from dusk to 2200. After 2200, runway 19 lighting can be activated by radio on CTAF. That includes the MALSR, REIL, PAPI and HIRL on runway 19. The airport also has PAPI and HIRL on runway 01. Clearance delivery is handled through Jacksonville ARTCC.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered pattern. Plan for the published lighting procedure. The ILS to runway 19 is also a key item. There is also a 1,089 ft tower about 9.5 NM west of the field. Check the current Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go.
