Field conditions now: elevation 168 ft, altimeter 30.17, 56°F (14°C; standard would be 15°C). Pressure altitude -100 ft. Density altitude -250 ft. The aircraft performs as if the field were at -250 feet: close to the field elevation.
| Runway | Length | Surface | Use end | Wind on it | Room for your book distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16/34 | 4,002 ft | asphalt | either | calm |
Wind calm.
Pressure altitude is the field elevation corrected for today's altimeter setting; density altitude adds the effect of temperature. The aircraft's manual turns these into takeoff and landing distances, climb and fuel burn. Observation KBQP, 10:30 pm CDT (03:30 UTC).
No SIGMET or AIRMET covers this field right now.
Turbulence No turbulence warning in force over this field. 5 pilot reports of turbulence within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours: light to moderate chop turbulence, at 41,000 ft, 16 nm southwest, 8:05 pm CDT (01:05 UTC); light chop turbulence, at 40,000 ft, 63 nm southeast, 9:15 pm CDT (02:15 UTC).

Icing No icing warning in force over this field. No pilot has reported icing within 100 nautical miles in the last three hours. The freezing level is about 14,000 ft (from the winds-aloft temperatures), so icing is possible in cloud above that. The government's icing forecast map ↗

Based aircraft as counted for the FAA, fiscal year 2024
Based aircraft, as a table
| aircraft | |
|---|---|
| single-engine | 17 |
| multi-engine | 4 |
The FAA's count is the general-aviation aircraft kept on the field (singles, twins, business jets, helicopters) from its Terminal Area Forecast, the latest year with an actual count; airline fleets are never counted as based anywhere, so a big airline airport shows a small number. The register section below shows how many aircraft are registered to owners in town, a different measure again.
Takeoffs and landings a year about 30,200, the FAA's fiscal year 2024 (October 2023 to September 2024)
Takeoffs and landings, as a table
| a year | |
|---|---|
| general aviation, travelling | 10,000 |
| general aviation, local | 20,000 |
| military | 200 |
Local flights stay in the traffic pattern or nearby, often practice; travelling flights arrive from or leave for somewhere else. Counts at airports without a tower are the FAA's estimates. How this compares nationally: Airports by the numbers.

Aircraft registered in Bastrop from the FAA register
8 aircraft are registered to owners in Bastrop, Louisiana: 5 piston singles, 2 drones, 1 piston twin. Not every one of them is based at this airport; the based-aircraft count above is the FAA's figure for this airport alone.

What each kind does
- DPE: Designated Pilot Examiner: gives the practical tests (checkrides) for pilot certificates and ratings.
- AME: Aviation Medical Examiner: a doctor who issues the medical certificates pilots must hold.
Designees are listed with the name and contact details the FAA publishes for them on its designee locator (read October 10, 2026): the FAA lists them so that pilots, mechanics and companies can find them. Private individuals are not named, the site's policy at this time. A designee who would rather not appear here can ask us through the contact address on the About page. Each designee is placed at the main public airport of the town the FAA lists (or the nearest one to its zip code), so "nearby" means the town, not an exact address. All examiners by state.
