Aransas County Airport sits in Rockport, Texas. Field elevation is 23.8 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 5,608 ft. Runway 18/36 is 4,498 ft. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so verify the current traffic pattern in the FAA Chart Supplement before you go. No ILS approaches are published here.
For local flying, the airport uses CTAF 123.05. The published frequencies also show Corpus approach and departure on 120.9 and 348.725. The on-field FBO is Aransas County Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist phone support at (361) 790-0141. Crew cars are available on a first-come or reservation basis. Crew rest facilities, including sleep rooms and showers, are available with prior coordination with the airport.
A few operational notes matter here. Runway lighting on 14/32 and 18/36 is preset to low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity and to activate runway end identifier lights on runway 14. The approach slope to runway 32 is 50 to 1 from the displaced threshold, so pay attention to your descent path. Rockport is a coastal field with light elevation. Expect to plan for local winds and standard sea-level performance, then confirm current conditions before departure.
