Philadelphia Muni sits in Philadelphia, Mississippi. Field elevation is 458.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 5,001 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.0 for local traffic and UNICOM 123.0 for airport communications. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local procedures say otherwise. The field has medium intensity runway lights on 18/36. Runway end identifier lights are installed. PAPI is also installed on both runway ends. The published remarks note that the PAPI on runway 36 is unusable beyond 7 degrees left of centerline, so keep that in mind on final.

A different number is listed for Thursday through Sunday, so call ahead if you need late service. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC directly. This is a non-towered field, so watch spacing closely and make your CTAF calls early. The published remarks also point to the airport layout plan for any development-related details.
