General notes
- The use of the RNAV standard instrument departures at Boston Logan is critical to reducing noise and achieving fly quiet goals. Massport and the FAA encourage pilots to use published RNAV flight procedures at Boston Logan Airport whenever possible. All aircraft that have required altitudes above 10,000 feet should be filing RNAV standard instrument departures with FAA Air Traffic Control. Contact Massport's noise abatement office at 617-561-3333 with any questions.Show FAA
- For noise abatement, runway 15R is preferred for takeoff and runway 33L is preferred for landing. For more information on noise abatement procedures call 617-561-3333.Show FAA
- Runway status lights are in operation.Show FAA
- At Terminal E, north and south cargo arrivals must contact Massport Gate Control on frequency 131.1 before entering or departing the ramp area.Show FAA
- Birds are present on and in the vicinity of the airport.Show FAA
- Runway 14/32 is unidirectional; no landings are permitted on runway 14 and no takeoffs are permitted on runway 32.Show FAA

General Edward Lawrence Logan Intl is in Boston, Massachusetts. The field elevation is 19.1 ft MSL. KBOS has 6 asphalt runways. The longest is 10,083 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Five ILS approaches are published. Pattern altitude is not published in the facts, so verify the current Chart Supplement before you fly. For light piston traffic, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern only if that matches current published guidance.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Call them at (617) 561-2500 for current services. Boston Logan is a busy Class B environment. Expect close sequencing and strict compliance with ATC instructions. Massport also publishes noise abatement guidance. Runway 15R is preferred for takeoff. Runway 33L is preferred for landing. RNAV departures are encouraged when possible to help reduce noise. There is no ramp overnight parking for non-tenant charter aircraft without prior Massport permission. Runway status lights are in operation. EMAS is installed at the departure ends of 04L and 15R. If you are planning a first arrival here, brief the runway layout carefully and review the current Chart Supplement before departure.
