Cox Field sits in Paris, Texas. The field elevation is 547.6 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 17/35 at 6,002 ft. There is no control tower, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.975. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless the current Chart Supplement or local traffic calls for something different. Runway 17/35 has medium intensity lights that come up low from dusk to dawn. You can increase intensity by keying the CTAF. PAPI is available on runways 17 and 35 and runs continuously. Cox Field FBO is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 100LL is available 24 hours self-serve. For Jet A after hours, call the FBO.
A few runway details matter here. Runway 03/21 is not maintained. Vegetation is growing through cracks. Runways 03/21 and 14/32 are not available for aircraft with more than 30 passenger seats. Runway 14/32 also has no line of sight between the ends. There are tree obstructions near the ends of runways 35, 17 and 14. If you are planning a first visit, brief the runway lighting. Brief the non-towered pattern. Brief the runway condition before you go.
