James A Rhodes Airport sits in Jackson, Ohio. Field elevation is 726.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 5,201 ft long and paved with asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a non-towered field, so plan to self-announce on CTAF 122.7. UNICOM is also 122.7. The published approach and departure frequencies are listed for Huntington. For clearance delivery, the Chart Supplement says to contact Huntington Air Traffic Control Tower at 304-453-2490. The on-field FBO is James A. Rhodes Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The published remarks also note 24-hour self-serve fuel with credit card access.
A few runway notes matter here. The approach slope to the displaced threshold on runway 01 is 15 to 1. The PAPI on runway 01 is unusable beyond 9 degrees left of centerline. On runway 19, there is a 15-foot road near the runway end on the right side. The PAPI on runway 19 is unusable beyond 7 degrees right of centerline. Medium intensity runway lights are activated by CTAF. For a first-time arrival, review the runway lighting and the displaced threshold notes before you go.
