RWY 08

Spokane Intl sits in Spokane, Washington. The field elevation is 2,385 ft MSL. It has two runways. The longest is 03/21 at 11,002 ft. Runway 08/26 is 8,199 ft. The tower is open 24 hours. Two ILS approaches are published for runway ends 03 and 21.

For pattern work, the published pattern altitude is not given in the facts. Use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the pattern at about 3,385 ft MSL here. Spokane sits in Class C airspace, so plan on talking to ATC early. Expect busy airline and business traffic. The airport also has published remarks that matter on the ground. Taxiway K has an unlighted section near the maintenance ramp. Some of it is not visible from the tower. Birds and waterfowl are also reported on and near the field. Smoke stacks about a mile east can add turbulence.

Signature Aviation is on the field and carries 100LL and Jet A. Aero Center is also on the field and carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you are arriving at night or in low visibility, pay close attention to the lighting notes for runway 21. The approach lighting system there may be used in a simplified mode in good weather. For any current taxi or lighting detail that affects your arrival, verify with the airport operator or the FBO directly by phone.
