John Glenn Columbus Intl (KCMH) in Columbus, Ohio has 2 runways. Both are asphalt and both are 150 ft wide. The longest runway is 10R/28L at 10,114 ft. The shorter runway is 10L/28R at 8,000 ft. ILS is available on all four runway ends. The field elevation is 815 ft MSL. The tower is open 24 hours.

Runway headings are 10L/28R at 94°/274° magnetic and 10R/28L at 94°/274° magnetic. Noise abatement matters here. A noise barrier on the southeast side of the airfield is restricted to aircraft with wingspan less than 79 feet. Runway 10L/28R also has published night restrictions for Stage I and II turbojet aircraft from 2200 to 0800. Stage III turbojet aircraft are restricted from 2200 to 0700. Practice approaches for high noise level type aircraft, including non-Stage III military jet aircraft, are not approved unless runway 10R/28L is in use and the approach ends with a full stop taxi-back operation.

Wind & favored runway

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. Use standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston unless ATC says otherwise. At this towered field, ATC sequences the pattern. Expect runway assignments to follow traffic flow and runway use at the time.

Right-traffic exceptions are not published in the facts. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement before flight. The published noise notes are the main operational item here. They can affect runway choice and nighttime use. Keep an ear out for tower instructions and be ready to comply with runway-specific restrictions.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
