RWY 14

M51 is in Starkville, Mississippi. Field elevation is 250 ft MSL. The airport has two turf runways. The longest is 2,600 ft on runway 14/32. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Runway 01/19 is 2,237 ft turf. Runway 14/32 is 2,600 ft turf. Both runways are marked by mowing and white jugs spaced 75 feet apart. That matters on a first look because the field is not paved and the markings are simple.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. UNICOM is out of service indefinitely. For clearance delivery, contact Memphis ARTCC at 901-368-8453 or 901-368-8449. The published frequencies include CTAF 122.8 and UNICOM 122.8. Since the airport has no tower and no ILS, plan for a straightforward VFR arrival and verify current field status before you go. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any published noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
