Grand Forks Intl is in Grand Forks, North Dakota. The field elevation is 845.1 ft MSL. It has four runways. The longest is 7,351 ft. Tower service runs from 0600 to 2330. The airport has one ILS approach to runway 35L. Pattern altitude is 800 ft AGL, which is 1,645.1 ft MSL.
Avflight Grand Forks is on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. The airport sits in a busy training environment. Heavy student helicopter training occurs between the parallel taxiways. Taxiways G, N and U are closed to fixed-wing aircraft at 12,500 lb and above. That matters for taxi planning.
Runway 17R/35L is the longest runway. Runway 17L/35R is not available for Part 121 or Part 380 passenger operations above the published seat limits. The same restriction also applies to runway 09R/27L. When the tower is closed, lighting is activated on CTAF. The published remarks also note a lighted entrance road east of runway 17R/35L. The segmented circle for runway 17R is unserviceable. Check the current FAA Chart Supplement for any noise or curfew restrictions before flying into the field.
