Calhoun County Airport sits near Port Lavaca, Texas. Field elevation is 32 ft MSL. The airport has two runways. The longest is runway 14/32 at 5,004 ft. Runway 05/23 is turf and measures 2,432 ft.
There is no control tower. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. No ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the light piston pattern near 1,032 ft MSL based on the field elevation.
Gateway Flight Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Published remarks say 100LL and Jet A are available 24 hours self-serve. Jet fuel is also available by truck. Runway 14/32 has medium intensity lighting that is activated by CTAF. Radio-controlled model aircraft operate near the runway 5 end, so watch that area closely on arrival and departure. For clearance delivery, contact Houston ARTCC at the published number before departure if you need it. This is a low-elevation coastal field, so density altitude is usually less of a concern than wind and runway selection. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or local operating notes before you go.
