Lamar County Airport (M55) sits near Vernon, Alabama. Field elevation is 463 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 17/35, at 3,613 ft asphalt. There is no control tower. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a field where the runway condition matters. The published remarks call out widespread joint cracking with vegetation on the runway surface. Runway markings are poor from fading. Airport lights are inoperative. All airport lights are out of service. That makes day VFR planning the safer starting point. The runway ends also have tree obstructions close in. Check your takeoff and landing margins carefully.
No on-field FBOs are listed in the facts. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF for current FBO availability. For IFR or clearance needs, Memphis ARTCC is listed for clearance delivery. The published frequencies include CTAF 122.9. Approach and departure service is handled by Columbus on 126.075 and 239.25. Pilots should verify current runway condition, lighting status and any local restrictions in the current FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
