Asheville Regional Airport sits in Asheville, North Carolina. The field elevation is 2,163.9 ft MSL. It has one runway, 17/35, which is 8,002 ft long. The airport is towered from 0630 to 2300. Two ILS approaches are published, one for each runway end. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport sits in a mountain region so expect terrain to matter on arrival and departure. Flocks of migratory birds are also noted in the published remarks. That is worth keeping in mind on the approach and in the pattern. When the tower is closed, runway 35 uses right traffic. The published remarks also say the approach lights, PAPI and high intensity runway lights for 17/35 can be activated on CTAF when the tower is closed. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field. If you need current operational details, call the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
