La Porte Muni sits in La Porte, Texas. Field elevation is 25.1 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 12/30 at 4,165 ft. There is no control tower. Traffic uses CTAF 122.7. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
No ILS approaches are published here. Houston Approach handles IFR clearance delivery and IFR cancellation by phone. The field is low and coastal. Expect busy southeast Texas weather. Pay close attention to wind and visibility changes. Runway 12 has a PAPI. The published remarks say the PAPI is unusable beyond 8 degrees left of centerline. Runway 12 also has REILs. Both runways have medium intensity runway lights. There is a 6 ft fence near runway 30. The published obstacle notes also call out a slope issue on runway 12. That makes stabilized approaches important.
Tri-Star Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A with Prist. Harvey & Rihn Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL. 100LL is also available 24 hours self-serve. For a first-time arrival, the main things to brief are the non-towered pattern, the published lighting and PAPI notes and the lack of ILS support. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or local operating notes before you go.
