RWY 14

Shreveport Downtown Airport sits in Shreveport, Louisiana. The field elevation is 179.3 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 5,016 ft. Runway 05/23 is 4,198 ft. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2200. One ILS approach is published for runway 14.

Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits inside the Shreveport/Barksdale Air Force Base Class C area. Published remarks say all VFR traffic must stay within 1 1/2 miles northeast through southwest of the airport center. That matters here. Runway 14 is the calm wind runway. The PAPI on 14 is unusable beyond 8 degrees right of centerline.

Tubreaux Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. 100LL is available 24 hours self-serve with a credit card. Jet A is also available 24 hours self-serve with a credit card. After-hours Jet A support is by phone. Watch the north 685 ft of taxiway F. Aircraft and vehicles are not visible from the tower there. Wildlife is also reported on and near the airport. For ramp space, contact the airport manager before arrival.
