Chilton County Airport (02A) has a single paved runway, 08/26, measuring 4,007 feet long and 100 feet wide with an asphalt surface. There is no parallel or crosswind runway, so operations depend entirely on wind conditions along this one alignment. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled and activated via CTAF.
Is fuel available at Chilton County Airport?
Yes, Chilton County Airport offers self-serve 100LL and Jet-A fuel, both located on the north side of the field. Fuel is available on a self-serve basis around the clock, independent of the airport's staffed attendance hours. This makes 02A usable for fuel stops outside normal business hours.
Is Chilton County Airport towered?
