The field itself

This is Auburn's own layout, the way its runways run and the taxiways thread between them, composed into a print you will want to look at every day. Not a stock template with a new name on it.

Museum-quality cotton paper

Heavyweight 330 gsm, 100% cotton Hot Press paper, acid-free and archival-grade. Its high color gamut and black density give the runways real depth, and pigment inks keep the fine detail crisp on a smooth matte surface.

Solid wood framing or glossy metal

Frame it in 1.25 inch solid wood, black, white or natural oak, with the white beveled mat, optical-grade clear acrylic and hanging wire included. Or choose glossy metal: dye sublimation into aluminum, floated about 3/4 inch off the wall on a hidden mount.

Auburn University Regional Airport Runway Diagram Print

AUO reads as a lopsided cross on the wall. Runway 18/36, 5,264 by 100 feet of asphalt, runs almost straight up and down the sheet as the longest dark bar in the composition, and runway 11/29, 4,000 by 75 feet, slants in from the upper left and cuts across it close to the 18 threshold. That off-center crossing is what gives the layout its character: most of the picture is one long spine with taxiway loops stacked beside it, and the second strip hangs off the top like a raised arm reaching toward the right edge. Elevation is marked at 777 feet.

The field sits two nautical miles east of downtown Auburn, in Lee County, and covers 423 acres. It began as a grass field, and when the Auburn to Opelika airfield was first constructed in 1930 it was private, built to serve both towns. In 1939 Alabama Polytechnic Institute, now Auburn University, bought it to train pilots for the war effort. The two runways you see here were reconstructed during the 1960s, and 18/36 was extended and widened to 100 feet in 2002, which is why it dominates the frame the way it does. In 2024 a temporary control tower building went up on the grounds, making it a controlled field during operating hours.

For 2011 to 2015 the airport was included in the National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems as a general aviation facility, and that is the scale the diagram keeps: hangar rows in the northeast corner, a compact terminal cluster mid field, apron pavement to the southwest. Drivers reach Columbus, Georgia in about 40 miles on US-280, and Montgomery, Alabama in about 60 miles on I-85, so this is a field with real distance around it. Rendered flat, in the colorway you choose, the whole thing holds up as graphic design: two angles, one intersection, a lot of quiet paper.

Auburn (AUO) print, common questions

How many runways does AUO have, and how long are they?

Two. Runway 18/36 is 5,264 by 100 feet and runway 11/29 is 4,000 by 75 feet, both asphalt. On the print, 18/36 is the long vertical strip and 11/29 is the shorter one angling across near the top.

Where is Auburn University Regional Airport?

It sits two nautical miles east of the central business district of Auburn, in Lee County, Alabama, at an elevation of 777 feet. The coordinates and elevation are printed under the AUO identifier at the bottom of the sheet.

What does AUO stand for?

AUO is the three letter identifier for Auburn University Regional Airport with the Robert G. Pitts Field. It is the code pilots and flight planners use for this field, and it anchors the type block on the print.

How accurate is the diagram?

The runways, taxiways and apron shapes are plotted from published airport information, so the crossing angle between 18/36 and 11/29 and the relative lengths of the two strips follow the published layout. It is a design piece rather than a navigation chart, and fine details may be simplified or omitted. Lighting, signage and pavement markings are examples of what gets left out.

What sizes are available?

Several print sizes are offered, and the vertical shape of the AUO layout suits a tall format well since 18/36 fills the frame top to bottom. Each one is made to order in the colorway you choose, and ships free within the US.

Is this a good gift for a pilot or an Auburn connection?

It works if the person has hours in the pattern here, trained at the field, or just knows the drive out east of town. The layout is specific enough to be recognized on sight, which is what makes an airport diagram land better than a generic aviation print.
