Richton-Perry County Airport sits in Richton, Mississippi. Field elevation is 167 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,000 ft long with asphalt pavement. The field is non-towered. CTAF is 122.9.
No ILS approaches are published here. This is a VFR-only field, so plan accordingly. The published pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless current local guidance says otherwise. The runway markings on both ends are reported as faded. PAPI is available for runways 18 and 36. Medium intensity runway lights for 18 and 36 are activated on the CTAF. The beacon is on the schedule indefinitely.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Pilots should bring tiedown ropes, since the airport notes that they must be provided by the pilot. For clearance delivery, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. If you are planning a first stop here, check the current Chart Supplement and call the airport operator before departure for any local updates. The runway is short enough that performance planning matters, especially on hot Mississippi days.
