Pine Bluff Rgnl/Grider Fld sits in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. The field elevation is 205.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, at 5,998 ft. There is no control tower, so expect non-towered ops on CTAF 123.0 and UNICOM 123.0. The published pattern altitude is 994 ft AGL, which is 1,199.7 ft MSL. One ILS approach is published for runway 18.
Pine Bluff Aviation Commission is the on-field FBO. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A Prist. Self-service fuel is available 24 hours with a credit card for 100LL and Jet A. That is useful if you are planning a late arrival or an early departure.
A few local items matter here. The airport has published obstruction notes near runway 36. Two posts over 3 feet tall sit 180 feet from the runway end and 180 feet right of centerline. Medium intensity runway lights on 18/36 and the runway 18 approach lighting system are CTAF activated from dusk to dawn. Memphis ARTCC handles clearance delivery. Numerous agricultural operations occur on and near the airport year round. Migratory birds are also in the area. Keep a sharp scan on departure and arrival.
