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.
