Coulter Field sits in Bryan, Texas. Field elevation is 366.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 4,000 ft asphalt and is the longest runway on the field. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. CTAF and UNICOM are both 123.0. Houston Approach handles IFR services on 134.3 and 360.85. For clearance delivery, the published remarks direct pilots to Houston Approach. The field is served by Coulter Field FBO. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist.
A few remarks matter on arrival. The controlling obstruction exceeds a 45 degree slope at the runway 15 end. There are unlighted hangars and an unlighted supplemental windsock southwest of that approach end. From dusk to dawn, the medium intensity runway lights on 15/33 start at low intensity. Use CTAF to increase them. Deer are on and near the airport. Keep a sharp scan on taxi, takeoff and landing. This is a good field to brief carefully before descent, especially if you are coming in at night or in IFR conditions.
