Southland Fld sits in Sulphur, Louisiana at 10.2 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 15/33 is 5,001 ft long with asphalt pavement. There is no control tower. Pattern altitude is not published, so plan on the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
An ILS is published for runway 15. The field also has approach lighting for 15, runway end identifier lights for 33 and PAPI on both runway ends. The runway lights are medium intensity and are preset to low from dusk to dawn. Use CTAF if you need to increase intensity. Southland Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. After-hours 100LL is available by phone call. A fee is charged.
For a first-time arrival, the main things to plan for are the low field elevation, the single runway layout and the published lighting setup. Clearance delivery is handled through Lake Charles Approach when it is open. If approach is closed, contact Houston ARTCC. Contact the airport manager for designated ramp space for public use before you go. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
