Columbia Metro (KCAE) has 2 runways. The longest is 11/29 at 8,601 ft. It is concrete. Runway 05/23 is 8,001 ft and asphalt-concrete. The field elevation is 235.9 ft MSL. The tower is open 24 hours. ILS is published for runway ends 05, 11 and 29. Pilots should also note the noise abatement procedure. Turbine engine aircraft should make no turns below 1,000 ft unless air traffic control directs otherwise.

Traffic pattern
Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston aircraft unless ATC assigns otherwise. Columbia Metro is tower controlled, so ATC sequences the pattern. The published noise abatement procedure says turbine engine aircraft should make no turns below 1,000 ft unless air traffic control directs otherwise. Keep that in mind on departure and in the pattern. No right-traffic exceptions are published in the facts.
Every end, one page
Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
