Cherokee County Airport sits in Jacksonville, Texas. Field elevation is 677.6 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 14/32 is 5,006 ft of asphalt, so it is the length you plan around here.
This is an untowered field. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. No ILS approaches are published. The field uses CTAF 122.7, which is also listed as UNICOM. For clearance delivery, Fort Worth ARTCC is the contact listed in the remarks.
Cherokee County Airport is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours a day through self-serve. Jet A is full service from 0800 to 1700 Monday through Saturday. Self-serve Jet A is also available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway lights for 14/32 are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use the CTAF to increase intensity. Use the CTAF to activate the runway end identifier lights for runway 14. With no tower and no published ILS, a first-time pilot should plan the arrival, brief the lighting. Verify current procedures in the Chart Supplement before launch.
