KAFW sits in Fort Worth, Texas. Field elevation is 723.2 ft MSL. The airport has two concrete runways. The longest is 16R/34L at 11,125 ft. Tower service is 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published for the field. They are on 16L and 34R.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current FAA Chart Supplement says otherwise. The on-field FBO is Alliance Aviation Services. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Call them at (817) 890-1000 for current ramp and fuel details before arrival.
A few published remarks matter here. Portions of taxiway H east of taxiway A are not visible from the tower. There are fence obstructions near the approach paths for 16R and 34L. The remarks also note displaced-threshold related approach ratios on those ends. If you are bringing a larger aircraft, the field also says prior arrangements are required for airframe or power plant repairs for design group three and above. This is a busy towered field with long pavement. Expect structured taxi and arrival flow. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any additional local procedures before you go.
