Walker County/Bevill Fld sits in Jasper, Alabama. Field elevation is 482.6 ft MSL. The airport has one asphalt runway, 09/27, at 5,004 ft. There is no control tower. Use CTAF 123.075 and expect a busy non-towered pattern. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless local procedures or current guidance say otherwise.
Runway 27 has an ILS. The field also has runway end identifier lights, visual approach slope indicators and medium intensity runway lights on 09/27. That helps for night work and marginal weather. Sanders Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with 24-hour self-serve 100LL available by credit card. Heavy student traffic is published here. Expect training patterns and extra radio calls. Deer are also reported on and near the runways. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing.
For clearance delivery, ground communications outlet service is available on 121.725 through Birmingham Clearance Delivery. If that does not work, contact Birmingham Approach at the number in the Chart Supplement. This is a good airport to brief carefully before arrival. Know the runway lighting. Watch for student traffic. Plan for a non-towered environment.
