John Glenn Columbus Intl is in Columbus, Ohio. Field elevation is 815 ft MSL. The airport has two asphalt runways. The longest is 10,114 ft on 10R/28L. The tower is open 24 hours. Four ILS approaches are published for the runway ends at 10L, 10R, 28L and 28R.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts. Use the current FAA Chart Supplement before you go. The airport sits in Class C airspace. That means you should be ready for a busy arrival flow and standard ATC coordination. The published remarks also call out several wing-span limits on taxiways and hold areas. That matters for larger aircraft. The southeast noise barrier, Taxiway R1 and the 28L hold pad all have published wingspan restrictions. Helicopter routes are also directed by the tower.
On the field, Signature Aviation carries 100LL and Jet A. Lane Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Flight notification service is available. There is also an LED approach lighting system in use on runway 28L. Crews using enhanced vision equipment should brief that before arrival.
