RWY 01

Sylvester Airport sits in Sylvester, Georgia. The field elevation is 403 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 01/19 is 4,525 ft long and asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For a light piston, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at 1,403 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you go if you need an exact local procedure.

There are no on-field FBOs listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival. You can also call the field on CTAF or UNICOM for current service status. Published remarks say deer are on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. The runway lights and PAPIs on 01 and 19 are active from dusk to dawn on CTAF. For clearance delivery, contact Jacksonville Air Route Traffic Control Center at 904-845-1592. If you are planning IFR, check the current Chart Supplement for the latest approach and airport details before departure.
