Lee Gilmer Memorial Airport is in Gainesville, Georgia. The field elevation is 1,276.9 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is Runway 05/23 at 5,496 ft. Runway 11/29 is 4,003 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.075. Approach and departure service is handled by Atlanta on 132.475 and 291.1.
The airport has one ILS approach for Runway 05. Pattern altitude is not published, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless current local guidance says otherwise. The published remarks matter here. Runway 05 has medium intensity approach lighting with runway alignment lights from dusk to dawn. High intensity runway lights are available on Runways 05 and 23. They are controlled on CTAF. There is also 24-hour self-service 100LL with credit card. Deer are present on and near all runways. Runway 23 has a displaced threshold with a steep approach slope. A building sits close to the runway environment near that end. Give that side extra attention on short final.
Champion Aviation Services is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Lanier Flight Center is also on the field. It carries 100LL. For first-time arrivals, plan for a non-towered airport with active approach support, night lighting on Runway 05 and wildlife awareness on every movement area.
