KHUM is in Houma, Louisiana. The field elevation is 8.5 ft MSL. It has two concrete runways. The longest is 6,509 ft on runway 18/36. The tower is open from 0600 to 1900. One ILS is published for runway 18. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
This is a low-elevation Gulf Coast field, so weather and traffic can change fast. Birds are a known issue on and near the airport. The remarks also call out heavy helicopter activity south through west of the field. Plan your scan and your spacing with that in mind. Runway 12/30 is 4,999 ft. The published remarks say its wet skid resistance is fair. Treat a wet 12/30 with extra caution. MALSR is active on runway 18. REIL is active on runways 12, 30 and 36. MIRL is on both runways.
On the field, Simon Aviation Services carries 100LL and Jet A. APEX Jet Center carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Hammonds Aircraft Maintenance is also on the field. Fuel is available 24 hours with credit card. For ramp space, contact the airport manager before you go. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery is handled through New Orleans Approach on 118.9 or by phone. If you need current noise, curfew, or ramp procedures, verify them in the current FAA Chart Supplement or with the airport operator.
