RWY 22

South Arkansas Rgnl at Goodwin Fld sits in El Dorado, Arkansas. Field elevation is 277.1 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. Runway 04/22 is 6,601 ft. Runway 13/31 is 5,100 ft. There is no control tower, so plan to work the pattern and CTAF calls carefully. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.

One ILS approach is published for runway 22. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is South Arkansas Regional Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call the FBO directly at (870) 881-4192 for current service details.

Published remarks matter here. Runway lighting is tied to CTAF use after dusk. Runway 22 also has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment indicator lights. The PAPI on runway 31 is limited well left and right of centerline. The PAPI on runway 13 has its own lateral limits too. If you need after-hours service, the published remarks say to call 870-866-9696 and a fee applies. For clearance delivery issues, the Chart Supplement says to contact Fort Worth ARTCC if Flight Service cannot be reached. This is a non-towered field with an ILS and two long asphalt runways, so brief the approach and lighting setup before you go.
