Pickens County Airport sits in Jasper, Georgia. The field elevation is 1,535.1 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 5,000 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.725.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport has PAPI on both runway ends. Medium intensity runway lights operate continuously. The PAPI on runway 16 is unusable beyond 4 degrees left of the centerline, so stay centered on final.

Deer and other wildlife are reported on and near the airport, so plan your taxi and landing roll with that in mind. For clearance delivery, contact Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692. With no tower and no published ILS, this is a straightforward non-towered field, but it still deserves a careful look at the current Chart Supplement before departure.
