AKROVILLE is in Slidell, Texas. The field elevation is 895 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is 18/36 at 3,001 ft. Runway 05/23 is 1,600 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 for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits on rolling terrain. Aircraft are not visible at opposite runway ends. That matters on short final and during taxi. Wildlife is also a factor. The published remarks mention birds, cows and other wildlife near the runways. Loose rocks are also reported on the field.
There is no on-field FBO listed. Prior permission is required before arrival. The airport is fenced and the gate is locked, so call ahead for access and current field conditions. The remarks also note active aerobatic training in a co-located practice area. Expect intensive aerobatic activity nearby. Contact the airport manager at 817-658-7479 before you go. For clearance delivery, Lone Star Approach is listed at 972-615-2799. Radio contact is recommended before landing for advisory.
