💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors check NOTAMs for runway and lighting status, and use CTAF/UNICOM for traffic advisories since KHPY is non-towered and often busy with student pilots; if arriving after dark, activate pilot-controlled lighting early.
🚖 Getting There
By car, reach the airport from I-10 or TX-146; the airport is a short drive north of downtown Baytown. There is no scheduled public transit to the airport, so plan on a rental car, taxi, or rideshare from Houston or Baytown. Rideshare pickup can be inconsistent, so schedule a return ride in advance or arrange with a local FBO.
