Barrow County Airport sits in Winder, Georgia. The field elevation is 934.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is Runway 13/31 at 5,505 ft. This is an uncontrolled airport with CTAF and UNICOM on 123.0. Atlanta Approach handles clearance delivery. The published remarks also say to contact Atlanta Approach at 678-346-6131 for clearance delivery. When Approach is closed, contact Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7696.

Runway 31 has the published ILS. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so a light piston pilot should verify the current pattern altitude before arrival. The airport has one on-field FBO, Romanair. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Deer are reported on and near the airport. The remarks also call out noise sensitivity over nearby residential areas, so plan your climb and turnout early. Runway 31 has a displaced threshold note and nearby obstructions on the approach side. Runway 13 also has a cataloged obstruction that exceeds a 45 degree slope. If you are arriving for the first time, brief the runway 31 approach carefully and confirm the latest Chart Supplement remarks before you launch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the field elevation at KWDR?
Barrow County Airport sits at 934.4 ft MSL. That matters for takeoff roll, climb performance and density altitude planning on warm Georgia days.
