RWY 20

Frank Federer Meml Airport (M36) sits in Brinkley, Arkansas. Field elevation is 195.3 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 02/20 is 4,002 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.

The published pattern altitude is not listed, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has 24-hour self-serve 100LL with credit card. Medium intensity runway lights for 02/20 are activated by CTAF. That helps after dark. It also means you need to know the activation procedure before you get there.

A first-time pilot should pay attention to the published obstructions and traffic mix. The Chart Supplement notes birds and deer in the area. It also notes numerous agricultural aircraft operations from February through November at 500 ft AGL and below. The approach to 02 has road and bridge signs near the threshold area. The approach to 20 has a steeply protected slope to the displaced threshold. The PAPI has limited usable alignment on both ends. Clearance delivery is handled through Memphis ARTCC, not a local tower. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before departure for any updated operational notes.
