Julian Carroll Airport sits in Jackson, Kentucky. The field elevation is 1,380.8 ft MSL. It has one runway, 01/19, which is 4,401 ft long and asphalt. The airport is non-towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8.

The published remarks matter here. Runway markings on both ends are faded and covered with algae. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 01 and 19. Medium intensity runway lights on 01/19 are CTAF controlled. There are also obstructions near both ends. Trees and brush sit within 200 ft of the threshold on the approach side of runway 01. Trees and brush are also within 200 ft of the threshold to the right of the approach on runway 19. The controlling obstruction for runway 01 exceeds a 45 degree slope.

No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly or call the field on CTAF for current service details. For clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC at 317-247-2411. The airport board chairman is Johnny Maco Deaton. If you are planning a first visit, pay close attention to the runway condition, the terrain around the approach ends and the lack of published ILS service.
