Piedmont Triad Intl (KGSO) in Greensboro, North Carolina has 3 runways. The longest is 05R/23L at 10,001 ft by 150 ft. It is asphalt. The other runways are 05L/23R at 9,000 ft by 150 ft and 14/32 at 6,380 ft by 150 ft. The field elevation is 925.5 ft MSL.

This is a towered airport with a 24-hour control tower. ILS is published for runway ends 05L, 05R, 23L, 23R and 32. That gives crews multiple instrument options on the main parallels and on runway 32. Noise abatement matters here. For practice approaches, aircraft should use runway 05R/23L because of noise sensitive areas. No LAHSO notes are published for KGSO.

Traffic pattern

Pattern altitude is not published. For light piston operations, use the standard 1,000 ft AGL pattern unless ATC assigns otherwise. At KGSO, the tower is open 24 hours and ATC sequences traffic in the pattern.

Runway 05L/23R and runway 05R/23L are the parallel pair. Runway 14/32 is the crosswind runway. The published noise abatement note calls for practice approaches to use runway 05R/23L. Use the assigned pattern and follow tower instructions closely.

Every end, one page

Each runway end has its own page with wind component, traffic pattern geometry and ILS for that specific direction.
