RWY 06

Elmira/Corning Regional Airport sits in Elmira/Corning, New York. The field elevation is 955.1 ft MSL. It has three runways. The longest is runway 06/24 at 8,001 ft. The airport is towered. Tower hours are 0600-0000.

Two ILS approaches are published here. They serve runways 06 and 24. Pattern altitude is 1,545 ft AGL, which is 2,500.1 ft MSL. For reciprocating aircraft, that is the published pattern altitude. Turboprops and jets use 2,045 ft AGL.

Premier Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Atlantic Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. The terminal ramp is uncontrolled, so do not call for push or power back. Advise ground control when you are ready to taxi.

This is a cold temperature airport. Altitude correction is required at or below minus 21 degrees Celsius. There is also extensive glider activity on and near the airport, so expect extra traffic scanning work. Runway 10 has published limits for aircraft at or above 121 knots approach speed or 118 ft wingspan. Taxiway T needs extra care for aircraft over 93 ft wingspan. Check the current Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
