Lakefront Airport sits in New Orleans, Louisiana. Field elevation is 7.3 ft MSL. The airport has three asphalt runways. The longest is 6,879 ft on 18R/36L. The tower is open 0700-2100. One ILS is published for runway 18R. Pattern altitude is not published, so use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC gives you something different.
This is a low-lying coastal field, so watch the weather and the water. Boats as high as 80 feet can pass close to the runway 09 threshold. There are also low spots that can hold water near the intersection of runway 09/27 with runway 18R/36L. Taxiway F has an irregular surface between the terminal ramp and the flight line fast ramp. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through MSY Approach on 127.4 or by phone. The airport also uses CTAF 118.95.
On field FBOs are Signature Aviation, Flightline First and Skyborne. They carry AVGAS 100LL. They also carry JET A. Flightline First and Skyborne also carry JET A PRIST. Overnight parking on the terminal ramp must be coordinated with the FBO. For public ramp space, contact the airport manager before you go.
