Louisa County/Freeman Fld is in Louisa, Virginia. Field elevation is 493.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27. It is 4,300 ft long. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Runway 27 has an ILS approach. The airport also has PAPI and runway end identifier lights on 09/27. Medium intensity runway lights are controlled by CTAF. That makes the field workable after dark. You still need to brief the lighting setup before arrival. The runway threshold area on 09 has a published PVC gas line marker close to the pavement. Deer and birds are also reported on and near the airport, so keep a sharp scan on short final and in the pattern.
