Harry P Williams Meml Airport is in Patterson, Louisiana. The field elevation is 8.5 ft MSL, so this is a low coastal airport with water operations nearby. There are two runways. The longest is runway 06/24 at 5,399 ft. The other runway is 04W/22W on water at 4,500 ft. There is no control tower. Traffic pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless local procedures or ATC say otherwise.
The airport has one ILS approach. It serves runway 24. Published remarks note LED approach lighting on 24. The runway 24 lighting system also has runway alignment indicator lights active. Medium intensity edge lights on 06 and 24 are preset. Use CTAF if you need to increase intensity. For clearance delivery, New Orleans Approach handles it on 124.3 or by phone. The airport also has dual land and sea operations. There is a waterway south of the concrete runway.
Perry Flying Center is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Pilots should also check ramp space with the airport manager before arrival. Runway 06 has a published 23 to 1 approach ratio to decision height. Review the current Chart Supplement before a first visit.
