RWY 18

Stennis Intl is in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. Field elevation is 22.8 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 18/36 and it is 8,498 ft long. The tower is open from 0700 to 2100. One ILS approach is published for runway 18. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.

Million Air Stennis is the on-field FBO. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After hours service is available by phone. The published remarks also note that the FBO is attended daily during normal business hours. It has shorter Sunday hours. If you need fuel or repairs after hours, call ahead.

This is a coastal field, so expect bird activity near the airport and low-flying fish spotter traffic near the shoreline between Gulfport and Bay St. Louis. Avoid flying over the schools east of runway 18/36 when practical. Runway lighting is pilot-controlled by CTAF. MALSR serves runway 18. REIL serves runway 36. If the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Houston ARTCC. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying in.
