KBTR is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The field elevation is 69.7 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is 7,500 ft on 04L/22R. The airport is towered. The tower hours are 0500-0000. Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway 13 and runway 22R.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The airport sits in Class C airspace. That matters for arrivals, departures and radio work in the Baton Rouge area.
On the field, Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Williams Jet Center carries 100LL and Jet A. Velocity Aviation, formerly BTR Jet Center, carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Free public use parking for general aviation aircraft is in the back row of the south ramp. A tree is reported near the departure end of runway 31. Taxiway F narrows between 04R/22L and Aer 31. Runway 04R/22L and taxiway E can look similar from the cockpit. Use extra care when exiting runway 13/31. Runway 04R/22L is also not available for certain large passenger operations. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any current operating limits before you go.
