Draughon-Miller Central Texas Rgnl sits in Temple, Texas. Field elevation is 682.3 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 7,000 ft. Runway 03/21 is 4,740 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 123.0 and UNICOM 123.0 for local traffic calls. One ILS approach is published for runway 16. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Temple Executive Air Center is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Fuel is self-serve. The published remarks also note that lighting is available from dusk to 2200. After 2200, runway 16/34 lights default to low intensity. Runway 03/21 medium intensity lights are not available after 2200. The PAPI on runway 21 is activated by CTAF. If you need after-hours help, the published remarks list a phone number for the attendant.
For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the lack of tower service and the published lighting limits after 2200. Glider operations are 1.5 miles north of the runway 16 threshold. ARFF is not available from 2000 to 0700. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any changes before you go.
