John H Hooks Jr Meml Airport sits in Rayville, Louisiana at 82.7 ft MSL. It has one runway, 18/36, which is 3,998 ft long and asphalt. The field is not towered. CTAF and UNICOM are both 122.8. Approach and departure service is on 126.9 with Monroe. No ILS approaches are published here.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. Lighting runs from dusk to dawn. Runway 18/36 has medium intensity lights. The runway end identifier lights are preset low at night. Use the CTAF to raise intensity if needed.
First-time pilots should pay attention to the west side of the runway. Trees there penetrate the transition slope. There is also a road 367 ft from the approach end of runway 36. A railroad track sits 467 ft from that same end. The approach slope to the displaced threshold on runway 36 is 12 to 1. Contact the airport manager for designated public ramp space. FBO options vary. Contact the airport operator directly before arrival, or call the field on CTAF/UNICOM for current FBO availability. For services after hours, call the number listed in the remarks.
