Total runways: 2
Longest runway: 04/22 · 4,304 ft

LE GROS MEML is in Crowley, Louisiana. Field elevation is 14.1 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is runway 04/22 at 4,304 ft. Runway 13/31 is 4,003 ft. There is no control tower. CTAF is 122.9.

No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern at about 1,014 ft MSL based on the field elevation.

Lighting is available from dusk to dawn. Runway 04/22 has medium intensity runway lights. The runway end identifier lights on 04 and 22 start at low intensity. Use the CTAF to increase intensity. Published remarks also say runway 13 has an approach slope issue to the displaced threshold. That is worth a close look before you plan a short final.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Aircraft parts sales are noted on the field. For clearance delivery, contact Lafayette Approach at 337-262-2729. When Approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622. If you need ramp space for public use, contact the airport manager before arrival.
