Boca Raton Airport (KBCT) sits in Boca Raton, Florida. Field elevation is 12.9 ft MSL, so performance is usually not the issue here. The airport has one runway, 05/23, which is 6,276 ft long and paved with asphalt. The tower is open daily from 0700 to 2300 local. No ILS approaches are published, so plan for non-precision work or visual conditions when you can. Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston ops unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement gives you something different.
Atlantic Aviation and Signature Aviation are on the field. Both carry 100LL and Jet A. If you are planning a stop here, call ahead for ramp and service details. KBCT also has EMAS at both runway ends. The departure end of runway 23 has a 300 ft by 170 ft bed. The departure end of runway 05 has a 252 ft by 170 ft bed.
This is a busy South Florida field with voluntary noise abatement in effect at all times. There is also a voluntary curfew from 2200 to 0700. Touch-and-goes are voluntarily restricted to 0900 to 1700 Monday through Friday. Birds are reported on and near the airport. When the tower is closed, runway lighting and PAPI are activated on CTAF. Check the current Chart Supplement for any current restrictions before you go.
