Fletcher Fld sits in Clarksdale, Mississippi. The field elevation is 173.3 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, at 5,404 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Red Panther Aero is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. The airport also notes that pilots must provide their own tiedown ropes.

A few local items matter for planning. Agricultural aircraft operate west of the north-south taxiway. Aircraft depart to the north and land to the south. Taxiway lights are on the south stub taxiway to the apron. Runway end identifier lights on 18 and 36 operate by CTAF. The medium intensity runway lights on 18/36 also activate by CTAF. PAPI on both ends runs continuously. The airport is owned by the City of Clarksdale. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC before departure if you need it.
