St Clair County Airport sits in Pell City, Alabama. The field elevation is 484.7 ft MSL. It has one asphalt runway, 03/21, at 5,001 ft. There is no control tower. Traffic uses CTAF 123.05, with ground control handled on 121.725 through Birmingham clearance delivery. The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
There are no ILS approaches published here. Runway 03 has a published obstacle note on the approach side, so pay attention to the displaced threshold and the runway environment on arrival. PAPI is available for runways 03 and 21. Medium intensity runway lights are on both ends and are CTAF controlled.
The on-field FBO is St. Clair County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours a day with credit card. For jet fuel after hours, call the number in the Chart Supplement or the FBO directly before you go. This is a non-towered field with Birmingham approach supporting clearances and approach services, so brief your frequency plan before descent. If you need current clearance delivery details or any local operating note, check the current FAA Chart Supplement or call the airport operator directly.
