Jackson County Airport sits in Jefferson, Georgia. Field elevation is 950.5 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 17/35 is 5,010 ft long and asphalt. The field is non-towered. Atlanta Approach handles approach and departure service. Published remarks say to call Atlanta Approach at 678-364-6131. If that service is unavailable, call Atlanta ARTCC at 770-210-7692.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport carries 100LL and Jet A at the on-field Jackson County Airport FBO. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card service. Deer are on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing.
Runway edge lights on 17/35 are preset. CTAF is used to raise intensity and activate the PAPI for runways 17 and 35. That matters at night or in low visibility. This is a good field to brief before arrival. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in. Also verify current approach service and lighting status if you are arriving after hours.
