RWY 05

Cherokee County Rgnl sits in Canton, Georgia. Field elevation is 1,219.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 05/23 is 5,003 ft long with an asphalt surface. There is no control tower. Traffic uses CTAF 123.0 or UNICOM 123.0.

No ILS approaches are published here. The pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 2,220 ft MSL based on the listed field elevation.

S & S Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call (678) 454-2090 for current services before you go. Published remarks say runway 23 is preferred for noise abatement. They also note that radio calls from the departure end of runway 23 may be unreliable because of terrain. The runway has high intensity lights, runway end identifier lights and precision approach path indicators.

For approach and departure service, Atlanta TRACON handles the south side of the field. Atlanta ARTCC handles the north side. This is a good airport to brief carefully before arrival. Terrain and radio coverage matter here, especially if you are departing runway 23 or operating after dark.
