Vicksburg Muni is in Vicksburg, Mississippi. Field elevation is 107 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 01/19, which is 5,000 ft long. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has one on-field FBO, Vicksburg Municipal Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours with a credit card. The airport also notes a hangar fee. After hours, call the number in the Chart Supplement. A call out fee applies.
A few operational notes matter here. The north parallel taxiway is closed. Only a terminal stub taxiway is available. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC. Runway 19 has a PAPI that operates continuously. Runway 01 also has a PAPI. Medium intensity runway lighting is available on both runways and is controlled on CTAF. The published approach clearance slopes for the runways are tight, so plan your descent and stabilization early. If you need repair support, airframe and power plant service are listed on field. Check the current Chart Supplement before departure for any updates to procedures or restrictions.
