Natchitoches Regional Airport sits in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Field elevation is 121 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. Runway 17/35 is the longest at 5,003 ft. Runway 07/25 is 4,000 ft. The field is untowered, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 122.8. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
One ILS approach is published for runway 35. That matters here because runway 35 also has an omnidirectional approach lighting system. Runway end identifier lights are installed on runways 07 and 17. The runway lights on both runways are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF 122.8 to increase intensity when needed. A ground communications outlet is available through Maks Approach on 135.075 with 4 clicks. If that is not available, clearance delivery can be reached through Maks Approach by phone.
Natchitoches Regional Airport has one on-field FBO. Natchitoches Regional Airport carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Fuel is available 24 hours a day with a credit card. For ramp space, contact the airport manager. First-time arrivals should plan for an untowered environment and verify current procedures in the FAA Chart Supplement before flying in.
