RWY 16

Abernathy Fld sits in Pulaski, Tennessee. The field elevation is 688.8 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 5,310 ft of asphalt, so it gives you a solid strip for light aircraft and many business aircraft. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The published remarks matter here. There is a rock quarry about 1,000 ft from runway 34. A quarry tower is also noted near that end. The runway 34 displaced threshold has a 51 to 1 approach slope note. That is worth a close look on arrival and departure planning.

After hours, contact the airport manager. The airport is closed on Christmas. For clearance delivery, Memphis ARTCC is listed in the remarks. No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts, so verify fuel and services with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone before you go.
