Key West Intl is in Key West, Florida. Field elevation is 3.4 ft MSL. The airport has one runway, 09/27, which is 5,076 ft long. The control tower is open 0700-2100. No ILS approaches are published here. Pattern altitude is not published, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL and Jet A. The airport has several operational notes that matter on a first visit. Noise sensitive operations apply. Use NBAA noise abatement procedures at other times. Engine runups are only permitted in the designated area on taxiway A between taxiways B10 and B11. No operations are allowed from 2300 to 0700. Military jet traffic is south and east of the airport. Enter the traffic area below 2000 ft. VFR departures are expected to hold runway heading until the field boundary, then make an exact turn north or south.
The field sits very close to sea level, so density altitude is usually not the main issue. Traffic flow and local procedures matter more. Runway 27 has EMAS near the departure end. Birds are reported on and near the airport. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement and the airport operator for any current restrictions before you go.
