Addison Airport sits in Dallas, Texas. Field elevation is 644.2 ft MSL. The airport has one runway. Runway 16/34 is 7,203 ft long and asphalt. The tower is open daily from 0600 to 2200. ATIS is available during tower hours. When the tower is closed, only AWOS-3 information is available.
Two ILS approaches are published. They serve runway ends 16 and 34. Pattern altitude is 956 ft AGL, or 1,600.2 ft MSL. That is the number to brief, not a computed value.
Three on-field FBOs are listed. Atlantic Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Galaxy FBO carries 100LL and Jet A Prist. Million Air carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. This is a user fee airport. Check with the airport operator or the FBO directly for current access details before you go.
First-time visitors should pay close attention to the noise environment. Noise sensitive areas surround the field. NBAA standard noise abatement procedures are requested. There are also several published obstacles near both runway ends. Runway 16 has a non-standard EMAS at the departure end. Runway 34 has nearby roads, an antenna near the end and a pole on the extended approach path. Birds are also reported on and near the airport. Expect a busy metro airport with towered operations. Plan your arrival accordingly.
