Approach coverage

South Lafourche Leonard Miller Jr has instrument procedures serving both ends of its single 6,500 ft aeroplane runway, rather than concentrating arrivals on one direction. GPS approaches are complemented by ILS and localiser guidance, providing both satellite-based and ground-based options. The published layout gives aeroplanes one runway alignment, while helicopters have a separate 60 ft pad. No airport diagram is published.

Regional chart context

Louis Armstrong New Orleans International has the broadest chart coverage among the nearby fields, with New Orleans NAS JRB and Lakefront also carrying substantially larger sets. Houma-Terrebonne has more coverage than KGAO, while Thibodaux Municipal has markedly less. The New Orleans Sectional supplies wider VFR context, and the US Gulf Coast Helicopter Route Chart adds helicopter-specific routing absent from the instrument procedures.
