Leitchfield-Grayson County Airport (M20) sits in Leitchfield, Kentucky. Field elevation is 782 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 4,000 ft asphalt, which is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0.

No ILS approaches are published here. This is a VFR-only field, so plan your arrival with that in mind. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement or local guidance says otherwise. The field is light on published instrument infrastructure, so a first-time pilot should brief a visual arrival and have the airport in sight before descending into the pattern.

Grayson County Airport is on field and carries 100LL. The remarks say 100LL is available 24 hours a day with a credit card. The runway lighting is CTAF-activated. That includes the rotating beacon, runway end identifier lights and medium intensity runway lights on 02/20. Precision approach path indicators are installed on both runway ends. Be aware of the published obstruction near runway 02. There are 9 ft trees 169 ft beyond the threshold and 121 ft right of centerline. The remarks also note a 20 to 1 obstacle clearance slope to the displaced threshold on runway 02. For clearance delivery, contact Indianapolis ARTCC.
