Hartsfield/Jackson Atlanta Intl is in Atlanta, Georgia. Field elevation is 1,026.2 ft MSL. The airport has five runways. The longest is 12,390 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Ten ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern for light piston aircraft unless ATC says otherwise.
This is a busy Class B airport with heavy airline traffic. Expect preferential runway use. Departures usually favor 08R/26L and 09L/27R. Arrivals usually favor 08L/26R and 09R/27L. Runway 09L has a concrete hopper obstruction near it. Runway 09L departures can expect an intersection departure from M2 with reduced takeoff distance available. Touch-and-goes, low approaches and practice instrument approaches are prohibited on all runways.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport also has published noise and operations monitoring. Check current procedures before arrival. Large aircraft have taxi restrictions on several taxiways, so plan ground movement carefully. If you are flying a piston single or light twin, expect a very controlled environment and stay ready for runway changes and taxi instructions from ATC.
