RWY 25

Gainesville Regional Airport sits in Gainesville, Florida. The field elevation is 151.4 ft MSL. It has two asphalt runways. The longest is runway 11/29 at 7,504 ft. Tower service is published from 0645 to 2230. One ILS is available to runway 29.

Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic unless ATC or the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. University Air Center is on the field. It carries AVGAS 100LL, JET A and JET A Prist. The airport is in a busy controlled environment. Expect normal tower sequencing and Jacksonville approach control on the published frequencies.

A few operational notes matter here. When the tower is closed, runway 29 uses MALSR lighting. Runway 07/25 and runway 11/29 also have published lighting activation procedures. Parts of runway 07/25 and the northeast 1,000 ft of taxiway A are not visible from the tower because of the VORTAC building. Taxiway C and taxiway D are limited to 120,000 lb or below unless prior permission is obtained. Surface condition is not maintained between 2330 and 0400 daily. If you are planning a heavier aircraft or a night arrival, verify the latest airport notes with the current Chart Supplement or the airport operator before departure.
