RWY 03

Telfair-Wheeler Airport sits in McRae, Georgia. Field elevation is 202.1 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 03/21 is 5,001 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so a standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern is the normal starting point for light piston traffic. The runway lighting is medium intensity. Runway 21 has runway end identifier lights. Runways 03 and 21 have precision approach path indicators. That helps at night or in marginal visibility, but you still need to verify current procedures before you go.

The on-field FBO is Telfair-Wheeler Airport Authority. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call ahead at (229) 315-1227 for current service details. Weather data is available from AWOS 3PT on 120.000, with phone backup at 229-868-7472. For clearance delivery, Jacksonville ARTCC can be reached at 904-845-1592.

This is a non-towered field with a single runway, so standard CTAF discipline matters. Check the current Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. Also verify any arrival or departure notes before you launch, especially if you are planning a night arrival.
