Jackson Rgnl is in Jackson, Tennessee. Field elevation is 434.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,007 ft on runway 02/20. The tower is open from 0700 to 1900. One ILS is published for runway 02. Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston traffic, use 1,000 ft AGL as the standard pattern reference unless local procedures say otherwise.

The on-field FBO is Jackson Regional Airport. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call (731) 423-0191 for current service details. This field also has several operational notes that matter on a first visit. Base operations run from 0630 to 1600 Monday through Friday. Prior permission is required by calling 731-425-5600. Ground access from 2130 to 0600 also needs prior permission by calling 731-394-1755.

Runway 02/20 is grooved 55 feet each side of centerline. Runway 11/29 is faded. Runway 02/20 is also faded. When the tower is closed, use CTAF for lighting activation. The published notes say runway 02 has medium intensity approach lights with runway alignment indicator lights. Runways 02 and 20 have high intensity runway lights. Runway 11/29 has medium intensity runway lights. Clearance delivery goes through Memphis ARTCC. This is the kind of airport where it pays to brief the published remarks before taxi.
