St Clair County Airport (KPLR) is a small public-use general aviation field serving Pell City, Alabama, sited a little over 480 feet above sea level. It offers two lit hard-surfaced runways and operates as an uncontrolled aerodrome using a common traffic frequency, making it a straightforward VFR destination for light aircraft.
St Clair County Airport is a small general aviation aerodrome located at Pell City, Alabama, at an elevation of 482 feet. It is a modest field with two lit hard-surfaced runways and no instrument landing system, typical of the general aviation airports that serve smaller communities across the southeastern United States.
The airport lies near Pell City, Alabama. It operates without an air traffic control tower, using a common traffic advisory frequency and unicom, which indicates it sits within uncontrolled Class G airspace at the surface; pilots inbound should expect to coordinate their own traffic separation and monitor the advisory frequency when in the vicinity.
The airport has one physical runway, oriented 03/21, though the two ends are listed with differing usable lengths: Runway 21 measures 5,002 feet and Runway 03 measures 4,764 feet. Both are hard-surfaced and lit, giving reasonable margins for light and medium general aviation aircraft. There is no ILS approach available at the field.
Pilots can expect Birmingham Approach/Departure on 123.8 MHz for arrival and departure advisories in the surrounding airspace. On the field itself, the common traffic advisory frequency and unicom is 123.05 MHz, used for self-announced traffic calls and unicom services given the absence of a control tower.
St Clair County Airport continues to function as a general aviation airport serving Pell City and the surrounding area of Alabama, with lit runways supporting operations beyond daylight hours.
