Portland-Hillsboro Airport sits in Hillsboro, Oregon, on the west side of the Portland metro area. Field elevation is 207.9 ft MSL. The airport has 3 asphalt runways. The longest is 13R/31L at 6,600 ft. The tower is open 0600-2200. One ILS approach is published for runway 13R.
Pattern altitude is not published in the facts block, so use the standard 1,000 ft AGL for light piston traffic. Turbine and large aircraft use 1,500 ft AGL. The field is busy enough that noise abatement matters. Runway 31L is the preferred runway for noise abatement. Avoid low-level overflights of residential areas when practical.
On the field, Hillsboro Aviation carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Aero Air carries 100LL, Jet A and Jet A Prist. Global Aviation carries Jet A and Jet A Prist. If you need clearance delivery after tower hours, contact Portland Approach. The airport also has customs service by published arrangement. For a first-time arrival, pay close attention to the runway layout. Also note the tower hours and the published noise procedures. Runway 13R has a run-up area that is not visible from the tower. Visual glide slope indicators on 13L and 31R have published limits near the centerline. Verify your approach setup before you descend.
