Towered traffic services are handled through Augusta approach and departure frequencies. No ILS approaches are published here, so plan with that in mind if the weather is marginal.

This field has several published obstacle notes near the displaced thresholds. Runway 11 has a road and fence near the threshold. Runway 23 has a light pole and a fence near the approach path. Runway 29 has tall trees near the threshold area. Runway 11 also has a PAPI limitation left of centerline. The runway lights are CTAF controlled. Pilots should also watch for turbojet traffic transiting the pattern area en route to Bush Field six miles south. If you need current noise, curfew, or operational guidance, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator before departure.
