RWY 16

FLYIN TIGER (81D) sits in Angleton, Texas. The field elevation is 30 ft MSL. It has two turf runways. The longest is runway 16/34 at 2,261 ft. Runway 17/35 is 2,200 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 operations unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the normal pattern reference at 1,030 ft MSL based on the field elevation. Runway 16/34 has a 3-foot berm at the south threshold. Power lines are buried in the approaches to runways 16 and 17. There is also a 15-foot road across the runway end of runways 16 and 17, so pay close attention on short final and during rollout.

There are no on-field FBOs listed. Plan on verifying services with the airport operator or by phone before you go. For IFR work, clearance delivery is handled through Houston Approach at 281-443-5844. To cancel IFR, use 281-443-5888. This is a small turf field with short runways, so performance planning matters. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any updated remarks before departure.
