Charlotte/Douglas Intl is in Charlotte, North Carolina. Field elevation is 747.9 ft MSL. The airport has 3 runways. The longest is 18C/36C at 10,000 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. There are 6 ILS approaches serving all runway ends. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC gives you something different.
Modern Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. J8 fuel is also noted in the published remarks. This is a busy Class B airport with heavy airline and cargo traffic. Expect close attention to taxi instructions and runway assignment. The published remarks also call out taxiway and ramp wingspan limits in some areas. Large aircraft should pay close attention to those restrictions. Runway surface condition information is available by phone through Air National Guard operations during duty hours or airborne on 292.2. If you are new to the field, brief the taxi plan before startup. Be ready for a fast pace on the ground.
