St Landry Parish Airport (KOPL) sits in Opelousas, Louisiana. Field elevation is 74.3 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. Runway 18/36 is the longest at 5,999 ft. Runway 06/24 is 4,051 ft. There is no control tower, so expect self-announce traffic on CTAF 123.0 or UNICOM 123.0.
No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field has published approach and departure service with Lafayette on 128.7 and 268.7, which is useful when you need IFR help or clearance delivery. Published remarks also note that runway 06/24 has cracks with grass growing through them. Markings on runways 06 and 24 are faded. Runway end identifier lights are installed on 18 and 36. Medium intensity lights are installed on 18 and 36. They default to low intensity from dusk to dawn. Use the CTAF to increase intensity.
The on-field FBO is St. Landry Parish Airport. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Contact the airport manager for ramp space and acceptable payment forms for 100LL. The airport manager can also be reached after hours for emergencies. For a first visit, plan for a non-towered field with concrete pavement issues on 06/24 and displaced-threshold obstacle considerations on all four runway ends.
