Bessemer Ntl sits in Bessemer, Alabama, southwest of Birmingham. Field elevation is 699.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 6,007 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. The field has one ILS approach on runway 05. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Bessemer Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Runway end identifier lights are active on 05 and 23. High intensity runway lights are also on 05 and 23. They are controlled by the CTAF. That matters at night or in reduced visibility. There is also a fee for after-hours service. Call the airport before you go if you expect a late arrival.
This is a non-towered field with Birmingham approach support on the published frequencies. Clearance delivery can also be handled through Birmingham Approach if needed. Check the current Chart Supplement for any local procedures before arrival. The runway is long enough for a wide range of GA traffic. Watch the density altitude on warm Alabama days. Use the current chart for airspace details and any arrival notes.
