Louis Armstrong New Orleans Intl sits in New Orleans, Louisiana. Field elevation is 3 ft MSL. The airport has 2 concrete runways. The longest is 10,104 ft on 11/29. Tower service is 24 hours. Four ILS approaches are published for runway ends 02, 11, 20 and 29.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement for the published traffic pattern information before you go. The field is in a busy metro area. Noise sensitivity is a real issue here. Runway 11 is noise sensitive for departure and is available only for optional necessity. All runways are noise sensitive for arrival. Arriving turbojets must plan a 5 mile final to help reduce noise.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Atlantic Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Flocks of birds are reported on and near the airport, so expect extra vigilance on arrival and departure. Taxiway G between runway 11/29 and taxiway S is permanently out of service for surface movement guidance and control. Runway 29 also has a published tree obstruction note near the threshold area. This is a low-elevation coastal airport, so the big operational focus is traffic flow, bird activity and staying sharp on taxi routing.
