Welsh Airport (6R1) sits in Welsh, Louisiana. Field elevation is 18 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 07/25 at 2,700 ft. Runway 09/27 is 2,200 ft turf. No control tower is published, so plan for self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.8. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. With that standard, traffic would be about 1,018 ft MSL. For clearance delivery, contact Lake Charles Approach at 337-480-3103. If approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC at 281-230-5622.
There are no on-field FBOs listed. Contact the airport manager for designated ramp space for public use before arrival. Runway 07/25 has reported longitudinal cracking with grass growth. There are block cracks with grass growth at the runway 07 turnaround. Gravel FOD is also reported in places. That makes a careful walkaround and a conservative runway check a good idea before takeoff or landing. A taxiway runs from the hangar to the end of runway 25. The field has been surveyed by the National Geodetic Survey.
