Herlong Recreational Airport sits in Jacksonville, Florida. Field elevation is 85.9 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 4,001 ft on runway 07/25. Runway 11/29 is 3,500 ft. There is no control tower, so expect CTAF self-announce traffic. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

No ILS approaches are published here. This is a VFR-only field, so plan accordingly. First Coast Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The FBO phone number is (904) 783-2805. Medium intensity runway lights are available on both runways. They activate on the common traffic advisory frequency.

A few operational items matter here. Ultralight and glider activity is published on and near the airport. That means extra scanning is smart in the pattern and on final. Ground communications outlet service is available on 121.725 through Jacksonville ARTCC clearance delivery and Gainesville Flight Service Station. If you need clearance delivery and cannot use the ground communications outlet, call Jacksonville ARTCC directly. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated procedures before flying in.
