RWY 16

Union Parish Airport sits in Farmerville, Louisiana. The field elevation is 118.7 ft MSL. It has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 3,003 ft long and paved with asphalt. The airport is non-towered, so CTAF is the main traffic advisory frequency. The published traffic pattern altitude is not listed. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 1,118.7 ft MSL based on field elevation.

No ILS approaches are published here. Runway lighting is installed on 16/34. The runway end identifier lights are preset to low intensity from dusk to dawn. PAPI is installed on both ends. Light intensity can be increased by keying the lights on CTAF. The on-field FBO is Union Parish Airport. It carries AVGAS 100LL. Call ahead at (318) 366-0325 for current service details.

There are a few operational details worth planning for. Runway 16/34 is closed to aircraft over 12,500 lb. There is also an oxidation pond with a 6-foot fence about 150 ft west of the runway 16 centerline near the north end. For clearance delivery, contact Monroe Approach first. If that is unavailable, call Fort Worth ARTCC. Ramp space for public use is controlled by the airport manager. If you need current noise or ramp guidance, verify it with the airport operator before departure.
