Must have prior permission to land, please contact us and we will make sure the strip is ready.

17-35    74' x 2,000' Bermuda Turf,   2'x2' white runway markers each 100'

Please note! 50' trees on approach to 17. Due to winds, 90% of the time landings will be to 17 (most seem to touch down at the 700' mark). At the edge of the trees to 17 is a small powerline, do not slip too much too early or it might scare you!

Normal traffic pattern is on the West side of the runway only. Please be kind to residents on the North and East sides

Use 122.8 (Mexia KLXY) call sign "Fort Parker traffic". Approaching the field during a fly-in and if with radio, use standard unicom calls and watch for no radio aircraft. All aircraft use standard, no tower procedures.

Field elevation - 500' Pattern altitude - 1300' recommended max
