Piedmont Triad Intl is in Greensboro, North Carolina. The field elevation is 925.5 ft MSL. It has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is 10,001 ft on 05R/23L. The tower is open 24 hours. Five ILS approaches are published for runway ends 05L, 05R, 23L, 23R and 32.
Pattern altitude is not published. Use 1,000 ft AGL for light piston operations unless the current Chart Supplement says otherwise. That puts the standard pattern about 1,925.5 ft MSL here. The airport sits in a busy Class C environment. Expect normal towered-airport sequencing. Be ready for runway assignment changes.
Signature Aviation is on the field. It carries 100LL and Jet A. Koury Aviation is also on the field. It carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Published remarks call out noise-sensitive areas. Practice approaches should use 05R/23L. Taxiway E has tower blind spots between J and H. Taxiway K northeast of K6 is closed except for cargo aircraft. Aircraft over 171 ft wingspan are not allowed on taxiway E. If you need clearance delivery and VHF 121.75 is not working, Greensboro Approach can be reached at 743-222-6129.
