Denver Intl sits in Denver, Colorado. Field elevation is 5,433.8 ft MSL. The airport has 6 runways. The longest is 16,000 ft on 16R/34L. The tower is open 24 hours. Twelve ILS approaches are published across the field, which gives you options on multiple runway ends.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement or ATC gives you something different. This is a busy Class B airport. Expect heavy airline traffic. Expect fast taxi flows. Expect close attention to runway assignments. The airport also has an informal runway use program in effect all day. Noise abatement information is available from airport management. Check it before you go if you are planning a piston arrival or departure.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The airport remarks also note birds and waterfowl in the area. Customs is available with prior permission required. Some departures use maintained clearways on runways 08, 25 and 34R. Taxiway F7 is closed to aircraft with wingspans greater than 118 ft. Denver’s elevation also means performance planning matters. Expect higher density altitude effects, especially on warm days.
