De Quincy Industrial Airpark sits in DeQuincy, Louisiana. Field elevation is 82.8 ft MSL. The airport has one asphalt runway, 16/34, at 4,997 ft. It is an untowered field. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless local guidance says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Lake Charles Approach handles clearance delivery and approach or departure services on 119.35 and 282.3. If Approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC for clearance delivery. The field has medium intensity runway lights on 16/34. The runway end identifier lights on 16 and 34 are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF to increase lighting intensity.
The on-field FBO is DeQuincy Industrial Airpark. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Self-serve fuel with credit card is available. The published remarks also note that you must provide rope and caulks. A courtesy car and pilots lounge are available. Contact the airport manager for designated ramp space for public use. For a first visit, plan ahead for ramp handling and lighting setup. This is a small untowered field with a single runway, so standard self-announce discipline matters.
