RWY 24R

Burke Lakefront Airport sits in Cleveland, Ohio. Field elevation is 583.5 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 6,604 ft on 06L/24R. The other runway is 06R/24L at 5,197 ft. The tower is open 0700 Monday through 2300 Friday. Saturday hours are 0700 to 2300. Sunday hours are 0800 to 0000. One ILS is published for runway 24R. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL unless current local guidance says otherwise.

Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Birds and waterfowl are a known factor here because of the lakefront setting. That matters on departure and arrival. Runway 24R also has a note that it is unusable beyond 8 degrees left of course. Runway 06L is unusable beyond 5 degrees right of centerline. The airport also has lighting notes for tower-closed operations. MALSR on 24R and REIL on 06L are activated by CTAF. High intensity lights on 06L and 24R start at medium. Request a higher setting on UNICOM if needed. For a first-time arrival, pay attention to the lakefront environment. Also note the published runway limits and the tower hours. When the tower is closed, clearance delivery goes through Cleveland Approach.
