Giddings-Lee County Airport (KGYB) sits in Giddings, Texas. The field elevation is 484.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 4,000 ft long with an asphalt surface. The airport is non-towered. Pattern altitude is not published, so light piston traffic should plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. Clearance delivery goes through Austin Approach at 512-369-7865. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.05. Published remarks also note 24-hour self-serve 100LL and Jet A. That is useful for late arrivals or early departures. There is also a fence near the departure end of runway 17. Deer are reported on and near the airport. Expect wildlife vigilance on taxi, takeoff and landing.

For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the non-towered environment, the single 4,000 ft runway and the wildlife risk. The runway is short enough that performance planning matters, especially on hot Texas days. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated remarks before you go.
