Brownwood Rgnl sits in Brownwood, Texas. Field elevation is 1,386.7 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 5,599 ft on 17/35. This is an uncontrolled field with CTAF and UNICOM both on 122.8. The ILS is published for runway 17.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is in central Texas, so expect warm weather performance changes in the summer. Watch your takeoff and landing numbers. The published remarks also note 24-hour self-serve 100LL. If no one is around for fuel service, call the airport at (325) 643-1482. Repairs are also available through that number.
Brownwood Regional Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A. For a first look, runway 17 has a published lighting note. The approach lighting system on 17 is reported as malfunctioning. Medium intensity runway lights are available on both runways and are controlled by CTAF. If you need clearance delivery and cannot raise Flight Service, the remarks direct you to Fort Worth Center. Check the current Chart Supplement before departure for any changes to procedures or lighting status.
