RWY 15

Craig Fld sits in Selma, Alabama. The field elevation is 166.2 ft MSL. It has one runway, 15/33, which is 8,014 ft long. The tower is open 0700-1900 Monday through Friday. Weekend hours are 0900-1700. There is one ILS approach. It serves runway 33. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Selma FBO Flight Services is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. 24-hour 100LL and Jet A fuel are available. Call ahead after hours if you need fuel or service. Published remarks also note severe cracking on the runway surfaces. Markings on both runway ends are severely faded. That matters on rollout and at night. When the tower is closed, the medium intensity approach lighting for runway 33 can be activated. The PAPI and HIRL for runways 15 and 33 are on CTAF.

For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are runway condition, lighting and tower status. The airport uses Montgomery approach frequencies for radar services. If you need clearance delivery help when FSS is not reachable, the published remarks give a Dannelly Approach number. Check the current Chart Supplement before flight for the latest operational notes.
