RWY 17

Jennings Airport sits in Jennings, Louisiana. Field elevation is 22.8 ft MSL. The airport has three runways. The longest is runway 08/26 at 5,002 ft. There is no control tower, so use CTAF 122.8 for local traffic and lighting activation. No ILS approaches are published here.

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston aircraft, plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,023 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Verify before you fly. The field uses CTAF activation for medium intensity lights on runways 08/26 and 13/31. Runway 17/35 is marked with orange cones. There is also a 5-foot fence and a road near the departure end of runway 31. The approach to 31 has a 21:1 ratio from the displaced threshold.

Two on-field FBOs are listed. Gulf Air carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Riceland Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Self-serve fuel is available after hours with a credit card. Expect agricultural aircraft and ultralight activity in the area. For ramp space, contact the airport manager before arrival. Clearance delivery is handled through Houston ARTCC. The field is low elevation, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Traffic and runway condition deserve more attention here.
