IDAS (L87) sits in Ida, Louisiana. The field elevation is 286 ft MSL. No runways are listed in the current facts block, so plan to verify the landing area and any usable surface before you go. This is an untowered field. CTAF is 122.9. No ILS approaches are published.
The pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Published remarks say clearance delivery goes through Fort Worth ARTCC at 817-858-7584. They also note approach is 200 degrees. Departure is 020 degrees. That matters here because the obstacle picture is tight. A 115-foot water tower sits 287 feet east. There is a 7-foot fenced area 68 feet east-northeast. Playground equipment is 20 feet tall and sits 116 feet southwest. Forty-three-foot trees north-northeast penetrate the 8 to 1 approach and departure surface.
Helipad markings are faded. Perimeter lights are available by calling 318-284-3231. No on-field FBOs are listed, so verify services with the airport operator or call the field on CTAF before arrival. With no published runway data and no ILS, this is a place to brief carefully, confirm the landing area and pay close attention to obstacles and surface condition.
