RWY 18

ST TAMMANY RGNL sits in Covington, Louisiana. Field elevation is 37.7 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 18/36 is 3,004 ft of asphalt. There is no control tower. Clearance delivery goes through New Orleans Approach. The published approach frequencies are 133.15 and 290.3. No ILS approaches are published.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. The field is close to sea level, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Traffic flow can still get busy on weekends because parachute jumping and skydiving activity occurs then.

St. Tammany Parish Government is on the field. It carries 100LL. Self-service 100LL is available 24 hours with a credit card. Runway 18/36 medium intensity lights are preset from dusk to dawn. There is also an overnight ramp fee. Public ramp space is assigned by the airport manager, so call ahead if you need a spot.
